Three women sustained injuries when they were struck by a trolley while crossing a street in Waikiki.

At 10:15 p.m. Thursday, Emergency Medical Services responded to a report of three injured pedestrians at the intersection of Kalakaua and Royal Hawaiian avenues.

EMS said the rear wheel of a trolley struck the three women, ages 62, 67 and 86.

Paramedics treated and transported them in serious condition to a trauma hospital.

Woman critically hurt in hammer attack

Honolulu police have charged a 30-year-old man in connection with a hammer attack that left a 31-year-old woman in critical condition.

Police arrested Kristopher Kalani on Thursday morning on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder after he allegedly beat his girlfriend with a hammer, causing severe injuries to her face and head.

Kalani was charged Friday afternoon and was being held in lieu of $200,000 bail.

Court records contain ample evidence of the suspect’s violent past.

In March 2006, Kalani was arrested for allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer.

Four months later he was arrested and charged in the beating death of 17-year-old Alexander Sabala. In that case Kalani admitted to striking Sabala in the head during an altercation at the BK Superette in Nanakuli, causing Sabala to fall backward and hit his head on the pavement. Sabala died two months later.

Kalani pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and, in a deal with the state, received a concurrent five-year prison sentence for the earlier assault case.

Kalani was released from prison last year but was arrested again in November for multiple traffic offenses, including driving without a license.
