Police seek suspect in UH elevator attack
Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man wanted in connection with a sex assault at the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Hale Ilima dormitory during the weekend.
Police said the victim entered a dorm elevator at about 12:20 a.m. Saturday and was confronted by a man who assaulted her. She struck the assailant and fled when the elevator doors opened, police said. The suspect is in his 20s, between 6 feet 2 and 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 180 to 200 pounds, police said. He has dark, short wavy hair, dark eyes and bushy eyebrows.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.
Man found lying in grass outside tunnel
A man in his 60s was in extremely critical condition at a hospital Thursday after he was found lying in the grass outside the Wilson Tunnel that was closed due to a pickup truck fire.
Police reported the fire in the tunnel at about 2:45 p.m., and officers rerouted traffic to the H-3 freeway from Kaneohe. The lanes were reopened about an hour and a half later.
Fire Department spokesman Terry Seelig said the pickup truck caught fire in the tunnel and that the occupants got out safely.
At about the same time, bystanders found the man. Paramedics took him to a hospital.
Seelig said the fire damaged a 60-foot area of ceiling tiles in the tunnel.
