HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A serial road rage driver linked to violence in Hawaii and California was sentenced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Radimak, 39, received a seven-year sentence after a judge granted the state\u2019s motion for consecutive terms on one felony count of unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and two counts of third-degree assault.<\/p>\n

A mother and daughter were injured in the May 7, 2025 attack, officials said.<\/p>\n

Radimak\u2019s attorney had argued that he had been diagnosed with mental health disorders.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But as part of her ruling, Circuit Court Judge Clarissa Malinao said Radimak did not seek the medical treatment she said he needed and was already on parole for other crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefendant is described as lacking empathy, that others should accept his violent acting out as normal behavior,\u201d Malinao said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis history of violence is propensity for violence, and defendant\u2019s voluntary intoxication and discontinuation of medication increase the risk of his dangerousness to self and to the public,\u201d Malinao said. \u201cThese findings also demonstrate and reinforce that the defendant is indeed a danger to the safety of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radimak pleaded no contest in January and, under the plea agreement, must also pay restitution.<\/p>\n

He will get credit for time he\u2019s already served.<\/p>\n

Prior incidents in Hawaii, California<\/h1>\n

Radimak previously made headlines nationwide after being dubbed the \u201cTesla road rage\u201d driver in connection with violent incidents in California.<\/p>\n

He was later accused of attacking a young woman outside the Planet Fitness in Kahala while he was on parole.<\/p>\n

Shortly after he was jailed in Honolulu, other inmates allegedly beat him, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
