A 27-year-old Pearl City man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly pushed a woman against a wall and threatened to kill her while holding a knife.

The woman, 29, told police the man then threw her onto a couch and began choking her about 12:45 p.m.

Police were called and arrested the man on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening and abuse of a family or household member.

The woman complained of pain to her neck and sought treatment at a nearby hospital, police said.
