A 17-year-old boy was in critical condition Saturday after being found in the roadway in the lower Punchbowl area with stab wounds.
Police said the boy was discovered with multiple puncture wounds at about 10:15 p.m. Police said there were at least two male suspects, who were unknown.
An Emergency Medical Services report said an initial caller reported a possible pedestrian accident on Magellan Avenue.
Responding paramedics found the boy lying in the street after apparently being stabbed multiple times with an unknown weapon, the report said.
Paramedics treated the boy and took him in critical condition to a hospital.
A woman told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that her uncle saw the boy after he was injured near Dole Community Park on Magellan Avenue. She said the restrooms at the park were closed recently, apparently because of criminal or nuisance activities happening at the park.
Police opened a second-degree attempted murder investigation.
Jawbone found near Makai Research Pier
A fisherman found a partial human jawbone along the Waimanalo shoreline over the weekend, police said.
The fisherman was looking for starfish near the Makai Research Pier at about 3:15 p.m. Saturday when he stumbled upon the bone under a coral rock, police said.
Officers retrieved the jawbone and turned it over to the Medical Examiner’s Office for analysis.
Police also notified the State Historic Preservation Division at the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Police said the division will contact the medical examiner to determine whether the bone is more than 50 years old.
Russell Soriano, head of security for the pier, said police spent at least two hours at the beach investigating the discovery.
He said the bone was found behind a row of coral rock along the shoreline, beside a sandy area adjacent to the Makapuu side of the pier. On Sunday, beachgoers sat on the sand just feet away from the same coral rock.
“This beach is so busy I don’t know how that thing got there,” Soriano said before recalling that king tides had came in a week earlier. He suspected they could have washed the bone up onshore.
‘Excessive speed’ factor in motorcycle crash
Excessive speed appeared to be a factor in a motorcycle crash Saturday that slowed H-1 freeway traffic and left a 23-year-old woman in critical condition, police said.
The woman, of Kapolei, was seen traveling on a 2003 Honda motorcycle at high speed, weaving in and out of traffic, and “lane splitting” before striking the rear of a Volvo SUV, police said.
The crash threw the woman off the motorcycle, and she slid to a stop on the roadway.
Police said the woman was reportedly wearing a helmet and was taken in critical condition to a hospital.
The crash happened at about 1:35 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of H-1 near the Aiea offramp. Town-bound traffic backed up after police closed several lanes for more than two hours to investigate.
