Man, 29, arrested after allegedly attacking parents in Waikiki

Honolulu police arrested a 29-year-old man for suspicion of attempted murder Sunday evening after he allegedly struck his mother, 64, and father, 77, with a “blunt object” in Waikiki late Sunday afternoon.

Police officers found and arrested the man at around 6:40 p.m., after he fled the scene, according to HPD. The parents were seriously injured in the assault.

Just after 4 p.m. Sunday, police said, the woman called 911 and reported that her son had struck her and her husband multiple times with a blunt object.

At around 4:08 p.m., Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said it responded to the couple at 1720 Ala Moana Blvd., where both suffered wounds to their heads and hands from an apparent assault.

Paramedics treated the victims and transported them to a hospital in serious condition, EMS said.

HPD said officers arrested the man for suspicion of first-degree attempted murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder later that evening.

Charges will be sought with the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney, HPD said.
