Tesla road-rage driver allegedly assaults teen, mom in Hawaii months after prison release
A Tesla driver convicted of committing road rage crimes against motorists in Southern California has been arrested again for a similar alleged attack in Hawaii.
Nathaniel Radimak, 39, was charged after allegedly assaulting an 18-year-old girl and her 35-year-old mother on May 7, the Honolulu Police Department said.
The teen was parking her vehicle downtown when she saw a gray Tesla speeding past, police said.
She and the Tesla driver “exchanged words” before he got out of the Tesla and assaulted the two before taking off from the scene, police said. The suspect vehicle was a 2022 gray Tesla with Oregon license plates.

Honolulu Police said they located and arrested Radimak the following day in the Waikiki area.
Radimak was released from prison in August after only serving less than a year of a five-year term after his conviction, a move that outraged his victims. He was sentenced in September 2023 following a spree of violent attacks. He pleaded guilty to assault, vandalism, elder abuse and making criminal threats.
He was known for driving a Tesla and using a pipe to attack the cars of his victims, mostly women.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told Fox News Digital that Radimak was granted 424 days credit for time served while he was awaiting his sentence. He was also eligible for opportunities to earn credit for good behavior while he was incarcerated.
“Radimak was released to parole supervision in Los Angeles County on Aug. 28, 2024, after serving his full sentence as defined by law,” a CDCR statement said.

Radimak’s bail in Hawaii was set at $100,000 after being charged with unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle in the first degree and two counts of assault in the third degree. He was also arrested on a “no-bail parole revocation warrant,” police said.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Concrete fell from the exterior of an Ala Moana Center parking structure Monday afternoon near the Kapiolani Boulevard exit, damaging a vehicle.
No injuries were reported.
Security blocked an exit lane as debris scattered across the roadway. Ala Moana Center said they are grateful no one was hurt, and the lane will remain closed while structural engineers and construction professionals assess the damage and make repairs.

Hawaii weather: USGS revised 4.6 magnitude earthquake off Kona coast, south swell, passing showers
HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii (AP) — The on-and-off eruption of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano broke a record Monday with the number of periods it has produced fountains of lava since it began erupting in December 2024, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
Monday marked 48 fountaining episodes, setting the record for any one eruption on Kilauea, said Katie Mulliken, a geologist and spokesperson with the observatory.
Episodes are separated by periods during which little to no lava erupts. Since lava is coming from the same vents in a crater at Kilauea’s summit, it is the same overall eruption, Mulliken said in an email.
There are several notable aspects of the current eruption, she said, including how accessible it is for viewing by residents and tourists. An eruption during the 1980s, in which 47 lava fountaining episodes occurred over about 3 1/2 years, occurred in a more remote area, she said.
The ongoing eruption is also reshaping the topography at the summit, she said.
But the lava fountains also can impact neighboring communities with volcanic fragments and ash, known as tephra.
Kilauea, located on Hawaii Island, is one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
