On Friday, just after 8 p.m., Honolulu police said a 19-year-old man was charged with attempted assault in the first degree after the case was conferred with the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney.

It comes after six juveniles were arrested in connection with an attack that occurred Saturday, May 30, at Waialēʻe Beach, commonly known as “Dead Man’s Curve.”

Detectives determined a 23-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy were assaulted by multiple individuals and suffered significant injuries that required medical treatment, police said.
