POLICE BEAT
Traffic incident triggers alleged scuffle

Advertiser Staff

Police arrested a 40-year-old man last night after he allegedly beat a 25-year-old man with a cue stick following a traffic incident at the corner of Kapi'olani Boulevard and McCully Street.

Police said the two men were operating separate vehicles when one of the drivers did something to offend the other about 9 p.m. Police were told that the older man got out of his car and approached the younger man while carrying a cue stick. He then began to hit the younger man the stick, police said.

The two then got into a scuffle that resulted in substantial injuries to both, police said. They were taken by city ambulance to nearby hospitals and each was reported to be in serious condition upon arrival.

The man with the cue stick was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault because the stick is considered a "dangerous instrument," police said.
