Big Island police last night released a 35-year-old Honokaa woman who allegedly kidnapped and cut a 21-year-old Honaunau woman.

Police said the younger woman was visiting the older woman’s ex-boyfriend at his Captain Cook house Sunday.

The 35-year-old woman threatened the other woman, assaulted her with a knife, cut some of her hair and told her to get into a car with two other women. They drove her to Kaloko industrial area and Waimea, where she escaped. 

She suffered superficial lacerations to her neck and chest.

The 35-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, terroristic threatening and assault.
