A 25-year-old man called another man a “Taliban” before severely beating and robbing him Saturday in the Keeaumoku Street area, police said.

Alvin Ponce, who has no local address, was charged over the weekend with second-degree robbery. He remained at the Oahu Community Correctional Center on Monday with a $50,000 bail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in District Court on Wednesday.

The victim told police Ponce walked up to him about 1 a.m. Saturday asked if he were “Taliban,” to which the victim replied no, a police affidavit filed in District Court says. Ponce allegedly shoved the victim down and yelled, “give me all your money.”

He kicked the victim in the face multiple times with steel-toed boots and punched him in the face, police said.

Police responded and arrested Ponce on Kapiolani Boulevard near Kona Iki Street. After his arrest, Ponce told officers that he “licked that f——— Taliban” and “he got what he deserved,” the document says.

Ponce allegedly told an officer that he would kill the victim next time, hurling homosexual slurs at him.

“I popped him super hard with my right hand,” the document quotes Ponce as saying.

The victim sustained numerous bruises to his face, a laceration near his eye and a broken bone near his eye and was treated by a doctor, according to the affidavit.
