Police are seeking the public’s help with identifying a man wanted for questioning in connection with an alleged terroristic threatening incident April 30 in Honokaa.
That day at 4:30 p.m., officers responded to the Waipio Valley ranger station, where a 32-year-old woman told them a man attempted to attack her while she was running on the Muliwai Trail at Waimanu Valley Ridge. The woman said a man jumped out from behind of a tree, brandishing a knife with a 4-6 inch blade with paracord wrapped around the handle. The man then allegedly attempted to grab her and block her path, unsuccessfully.
The suspect is described as about 6 feet tall, 185-200 pounds, with short black hair, a beard and mustache and hairy arms. He was wearing black pants, a black shirt and combat boots.
Anyone with information or who recognizes the man from the composite sketch is asked to call the police nonemergency line at 935-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 961-8300.
