STORY SUMMARY

HILO, Hawaii - A 25-year-old Hilo man is in serious condition following an incident on Keawe Street in Downtown Hilo.

(BIVN) – A 25-year-old Hilo man has been arrested and charged with first-degree assault and second-degree attempted murder following an alleged knife attack on Keawe Street that sent another 25-year-old Hilo man to the hospital.

Hawaiʻi County Police issued this media release on Monday:

Hawaiʻi Island police have charged a Hilo man in connection with a stabbing incident in Hilo.

At 8:42 p.m., Saturday evening, (March 17), police responded to Keawe Street in Downtown Hilo for a report of a man with an apparent stab wound to his neck. Witnesses told police that the suspect was involved in an argument with a group of people the victim was with before punching the victim.

The suspect was led away from the group but returned and attacked the victim with a knife, causing a deep laceration to the front of his neck. Bystanders from a nearby business detained the suspect until police arrived. The suspect and victim did not know each other.

The victim, a 25-year-old Hilo man, was taken to the Hilo Medical Center and later flown to the Queen’s Medical Center in serious condition.

The suspect, a 25-year-old Hilo man Donovan Sieb, was arrested at the scene without incident. He was taken to the Hilo cellblock while detectives with the Area I Criminal Investigation Section continued the investigation.

At 8:45 p.m., Sunday, (March 18), police charged Sieb with first-degree assault and second-degree attempted murder. His bail has been set at $275,000. He remains in police custody pending his initial appearance Monday afternoon, (March 19), in District Court.
