Police Arrest Mililani Man After Early Sunday Stabbing Leaves Relative Hospitalized and Facing Attempted Murder Investigation in Hawaii
MILILANI, HI — Honolulu police arrested a 40-year-old man after an early Sunday stabbing in Mililani that left a 47-year-old family member hospitalized. Officers were called to a home at about 12:45 a.m. after receiving a report of a stabbing. Investigators said the older man was asleep when he was allegedly attacked. Police booked the suspect for attempted murder in the second degree as the case remained under investigation.
How The Arrest Happened
According to police, officers arrived at the residence and determined that a weapon had been used in the attack. The suspect was identified as a 40-year-old family member of the victim. Honolulu police said the arrest followed the initial response to the home and the information gathered at the scene. The department has not released any indication of what led up to the stabbing. The investigation is still active, and no additional details about the relationship between the men were provided.
Victim Taken To Hospital
The 47-year-old man was taken to a hospital for treatment after the stabbing. Police have not said how serious his injuries are or what his current condition is. Because the victim was asleep when the assault reportedly happened, officers have not described any struggle before the stabbing. The hospital where he was treated was not identified. Authorities said the extent of the injuries remains unknown at this time, leaving his recovery status unclear.
Weapon Recovered At Scene
Police said a weapon was recovered during the response to the Mililani home. That recovery was part of the evidence collected as investigators began sorting out what happened in the early-morning incident. The case is being handled as an attempted murder investigation, which means detectives are still working to establish the sequence of events and the circumstances that led to the arrest. No court information or charging documents were included in the report provided by police.
Separate Honolulu Case Mentioned
The police update also noted a separate robbery investigation in Kalihi involving a man who was threatened with a knife and had his vehicle stolen Friday morning. That case was not connected to the Mililani stabbing, but it appeared in the same public safety briefing from Honolulu police. For the Mililani incident, investigators said they will continue to examine the evidence and follow up on the condition of the injured man. Police have not announced any further suspects.
