LAIE, Hawaii (KITV4) -- Honolulu police arrested a 28-year-old man on Friday for allegedly assaulting an elderly man in an apparent road rage incident.
The interaction was caught on home surveillance video on July 19 in Laie.
The video shows a car pulling up to a truck. Shortly after, there appears to be some sort of verbal exchange between the drivers.
A man gets out of the car and approaches the truck driver before a fight breaks out.
You can see the victim, a 70-year-old man, fall to his knees while repeatedly getting punched and then kicked, before the suspect takes off.
The victim's daughter tells us that her father was cut off on the road by the suspect. She says that her father was trying to tell the suspect to drive safer.
"This is nothing anybody wants to see their parent [go through]. Like to see your dad on all fours and this guy is kicking him, it's not right, " said Katarina Fonua. "It's not right and there's no respect. Nobody does that to our elderly. He needs to pay for what he did. Because he kicked him and he was on the ground and then he ran away. So, he knew what he was doing."
Fonua says her dad is still recovering, and is badly bruised and swollen.
Honolulu Police are investigating this case as a second-degree assault.
