HONOLULU (KITV4) -- A 30-year-old man has been detained by HPD under suspicion of first degree terroristic threatening. The man was seen waving a machete in the street, before being hit by a car.
The order of events has not been confirmed, but is recounted by the video time stamps from an anonymous submission to KITV.
The anonymous submission to KITV filmed from above shows the man with the machete being hit by a black car across from Chinatown Cultural Plaza. The video is timestamped just before 10pm. The black car then backs up onto the sidewalk.
The action took place in front of a nearby apartment building.
In a video timestamped several minutes later, the man places the machete in a basket of cloths and covers it up. He then kicks at bushes and verbally insults a group of people, and threatens them. He singles out someone he identifies as security.
At the end of the clip, the black car can be seen again.
In a third clip with the latest time stamp, the black car is parked and a group pursues the man, now without hat or machete. In the group is a security guard in fluorescent who can be seen later kicking the man, as the group takes turns assaulting him, before the man runs away.
By 10:20pm more than a half dozen police cars lined Beretania, recovering items from the scene, including the basket of cloths and other items left strewn out on the side walk.
The security guard in fluorescent (seen earlier) is on the scene moving freely within the sectioned off area with HPD, and picks up a pair of flip flops. Press and others were told to stay back approximately 15 yards on the sidewalk.
KITV tried to confirm the sequence of events with HPD's criminal investigation division but an officer said, "No comment." KITV also inquired with HPD as to why the security guard in fluorescent was handling items at the investigation scene.
KITV has also requested details on the Black SUV or Jeep that seems to appear in each video. HPD has yet to respond at the time of writing.
