A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of second- degree murder in connection with Friday’s beating death of a 28-year-old man at Nanakuli Beach Park.

Honolulu police said the incident happened at about 1:55 p.m. Friday after an argument between the victim and the suspect, who were acquainted, escalated into a physical altercation. The suspect allegedly struck the victim multiple times with a metal object, police said. The victim, whose name has not been released, ran a short distance away until he collapsed and became unresponsive.

He was transported by a Honolulu Emergency Medical Services ambulance to the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The suspect was arrested in the area at 2:25 p.m. Friday and police recovered an undisclosed weapon from the scene.
