2 men hurt in brawl outside celebrated Hanalei bar

Two men were hurt in a fight that broke out at a popular bar and restaurant in Hanalei.

Police said the brawl happened Saturday night in the parking lot of Tahiti Nui.

According to a preliminary investigation, a 28-year-old Moloaa area man was attacked by multiple assailants in the rear parking lot shortly after 11:30 p.m.

The attack resulted in injuries to the Moloaa man and a 21-year-old male from Kilauea, police said. Both were taken to Wilcox Medical Center with injuries and have since been released.

No arrests have been made as police are still investigating what appears to have been an act of self-defense.

Anyone with information is urged to call Kauai police at 241-1711, Lt. Kenneth Cummings at 241-1686 or CrimeStoppers at 246-8300.

Tahiti Nui was featured prominently in the 2011 movie “The Descendents.”
