A 38-year-old man has been charged with harassment after allegedly threatening another male with a knife in Waikiki and damaging Honolulu police property on Saturday night.

At about 11:12 p.m. Saturday, an 18-year-old male and the suspect got into an argument that escalated with the suspect threatening the victim with a knife, according to a Honolulu police report and arrest logs.
