A 19-year-old Kaka'ako man was arrested early Monday morning after he allegedly shot a woman with an "airsoft" gun in downtown Honolulu.
The woman, 30, told police she was standing along Merchant Street about 1:50 a.m. when a silver SUV drove by and the driver shot her with a pellet or airsoft gun.
Airsoft guns look very much like real weapons but shoot plastic BBs instead of bullets.
The victim, who was not seriously injured, took down the SUV's license plate number and called police, who found the vehicle, with the driver inside, parked at the Diamond Head lookout.
Police took the woman to the lookout, and she positively identified the SUV driver, who was then arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault, police said.
Police said the suspect gave them permission to search the SUV and that they found four airsoft guns.
MAN, 26, ARRESTED IN ROAD-RAGE CASE
A 26-year-old man was arrested Monday in connection with a road rage incident Friday night in 'Ewa Beach.
A 32-year-old woman told police she was driving on Iroquois Point Road about 9:35 p.m. near Ke'aunui Drive when a car in front of her stopped suddenly.
She said the driver and a male passenger got out of the stopped vehicle, came up to the side of her car, accused her of tailgating and hit her several times in the face and head.
She said the passenger from the stopped car then went around to the other side of her car and struck her boyfriend several times.
Police were called, but the two suspects left the area before they arrived. The two people who were assaulted did not get the license plate number of the other car as it drove off, police said.
They said the woman was at the guard shack Monday on Iroquois Road at the entrance to the Navy's West Loch naval magazine when she saw the same car and one of the men involved in the Friday incident.
Police were called to the area, stopped the suspect vehicle and arrested the driver on suspicion of unlawful entry into a motor vehicle after the woman and her boyfriend identified the driver as one of the men involved in the earlier incident.
