A 69-year-old man was arrested in Honolulu after a stabbing incident that left one man hospitalized with serious injuries. The incident occurred on Nuuanu Ave in the Chinatown area of Honolulu, according to reports from KITV and the Star-Advertiser.
The man, identified as Tony Bumphus, was taken into custody after the altercation that resulted in a stab wound to the left thigh of a 37-year-old man. This confrontation, reportedly rooted in a verbal argument, escalated quickly enough to result in the use of a sharp object. The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) said that they arrested Bumphus at 6:48 p.m. Saturday at the Queen Emma Garden Apartments on 1511 Nuuanu Ave. HPD has charged him with second-degree assault.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were promptly at the scene where paramedics employed their advanced trauma skills to stabilize the victim, who was then transported in serious condition to a nearby trauma hospital. "Paramedics used their advanced trauma skills to stabilize a 37-year-old man who had a stab wound," KITV reported on the immediate medical response following the incident.
No further details have been provided about the motive behind the dispute or the victim's condition. As investigations continue, more information is expected to be released soon, following a report by a division of the HPD Criminal Investigation Division, as mentioned by the Star-Advertiser.
