A 19-man his year-old man stopped when he saw a standing in the middle of a road in Anahola late Tuesday night.
For troubles, he was beaten, and his car was damaged, he said yesterday.
David Adams of Wailua said he was driving home from a friend’s house in Anahola Tuesday at about 11:30 p.m.
As he was driving through Anahola town, passing the small bridge leading to Anahola Beach Park, he said he saw a man standing in the middle of the road.
He stopped, and his car stalled, and the man, whom he described as a local male in his late teens or early twenties, came to the window, punched him in the face, and then came into the car and started punching him in the head.
“He was screaming his lungs out like he was on drugs,” said Adams. “I have no clue why it happened. It was a split second.”
Then another group of males, whom he described as about the same age as the first attacker, began smacking his car, “denting it up pretty good.”
Suddenly, he said, a woman pulled his attacker off of him, and the group of males backed away, Adams said.
Adams, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and with a black eye, some bruises and a few knots on the back of his head, drove back to his friend’s house. The friend called police.
“He was standing there like he was waiting for somebody to come down” Anahola Road towards the beach, Adams said.
Officials from the Kaua‘i Police Department said they are investigating the incident.
Anyone with information is asked to call the KPD dispatch line at 241-1711.
