Man arrested after grandson hurt
A 52-year-old grandfather from Wahiawa was arrested on suspicion of felony abuse after police said he slapped his grandsons and held one of them until the boy became unconscious Saturday night.
The boys were playing in the back of their grandmother’s vehicle around 10 p.m. Saturday when their grandfather told them to stop, police said. When the boys kept on playing, the grandfather became upset, went to the back of the vehicle and allegedly slapped both of them, police said.
The grandfather then allegedly pressed his thumb on the right eye of the older, 11-year-old brother and covered the boy’s mouth and nose so he could not breathe, causing him to pass out, police said.
The boy was revived and taken to Wahiawa General Hospital where he was treated and released, police said.
