A man attempted to kidnap a 24-year-old woman at a condominium parking lot garage near the Diamond Head area of Oahu on Monday around noon. Video footage shows the man approaching from behind as the woman walked with an elderly friend, then grabbing her and carrying her towards his vehicle. The elderly woman, who was with the victim, said the man 'shoved' her away before picking up her friend. She told Hawaii News Now the man 'looked like a monster' and had 'so much hatred and craziness' in his eyes.

The woman being carried screamed and pleaded with her attacker not to take her, whilst her elderly companion called for help. A witness named Beverly Louis said she screamed at the man to drop the woman, who was 'screaming for her life' and 'terrified'. Before reaching his vehicle, the woman managed to break free and fell to the ground. As a witness approached, the man raised his hands and quickly left the area in his truck. The man remains unidentified and police were called to the scene.
