Honolulu police released a surveillance image of a man they want to identify after an early‑morning assault and robbery in Waikīkī late last month. Investigators say the victim was attacked and stripped of personal items — including a debit card — on September 27. Not long after, cameras caught someone trying to use that card at a nearby convenience store, and detectives are hoping the photo sparks a tip.
What police released
According to the Honolulu Police Department, the assault and robbery happened around 4 a.m. on September 27, when two unknown suspects took the complainant’s belongings. HPD describes the man they’re looking to ID as 20 to 30 years old, about 5'7" to 5'10" with a medium build and complexion. He has short black hair, a mustache and goatee, and was wearing a black T‑shirt, dark pants, black shoes, and a Chicago Bulls ball cap. The department says he left in a four‑door sedan; make, model, and plates are unknown.
Where investigators traced the card
As reported by Hawaii News Now, the stolen debit card was unsuccessfully used around 4:30 a.m. at the 7‑Eleven at 590 Queen Street. Investigators say video from that location is key and could provide a clearer look at the person who tried to make the purchase.
How to contact detectives
The Honolulu Police Department release includes a direct contact for a detective and points tipsters to Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips. Information that leads to an arrest may be eligible for a reward. Police encourage anyone with photos or video to share them to help identify the man pictured.
