Suspect arrested in Manoa incidents

A 22-year-old homeless man who some Manoa residents say is responsible for a number of harassment incidents this month was arrested Saturday after reports that he was challenging people to a fight in Manoa Valley District Park.

Yama Fazzari, 22, was arrested at about 7 p.m. and charged with harassment, a misdemeanor. His bail was set at $1,000. No injuries were reported Saturday.

Police confirmed that Fazzari is the person whom Manoa Valley Neighborhood Security Watch has been concerned about since early February. Manoa residents have reported a man sleeping in his car on East Manoa Road near the Manoa Chinese Cemetery who has been harassing people.
