Advertiser Staff

Honolulu detectives are still investigating an apparent melee and stabbing last night at Sand Island Park in which a juvenile was taken into custody on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder and four men were hospitalized.

Details are sketchy, but HPD's criminal investigation division confirmed that a fight was reported at Sand Island Park at around 11:20 p.m.

Police were called to the scene, and a 14-year-old boy was taken into custody on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder, police said.

Two men involved in the incident, ages 23 and 21, were taken to The Queen's Medical Center, said Bryan Cheplic, spokesman for Emergency Medical Services.

The older man, who had been stabbed, was admitted in serious condition, he said. The other man, who had not been stabbed, was admitted in stable condition, he said.

Two other men involved in the fight were taken to the Kuakini Medical Center in stable condition, Cheplic said.
