A 39-year-old man was sentenced to seven years in prison for assaulting two women in Honolulu. The incident occurred on May 7, 2025, when he drove a Tesla past an 18-year-old practicing parallel parking on Halekauwila Street. After the teen yelled for him to slow down, he turned around, approached the car, and threatened to punch her. He then punched the teen in the jaw and shoulder area. The mother threw iced coffee at the Tesla, and he rushed her, punching her in the face and knocking her to the ground. The teen did not need medical treatment, while the mother required eight stitches. He was arrested the next day and pleaded no contest on January 6.
"The assault occurred on May 7, 2025, when Nathanial Radimak was driving a Tesla down Halekauwila Street in Honolulu and he sped past an 18-year-old trying to park her car, according to an April court motion. The woman, who was driving with her mother, had just received her driver's permit and was practicing parallel parking."
"Radimak told the driver, "What did you say? Say it to me again. I'll punch the f-k out of you," according to the document. He then reached inside the car, punched the woman's jaw and shoulder area. The mother threw a cup of iced coffee at the Tesla and then Radimak "bull-rushed" her, pushing her to the side, punching her in the face and knocking her to the ground, according to the document."
"Surveillance footage published by KITV shows the violent encounter with Radimak getting out of his car and approaching the other vehicle, repeatedly striking them. According to the court document, the daughter didn't need medical treatment, but the mother had a cut on her forehead and needed eight stitches."
"Prosecuting attorneys called the case a "series of deliberate and absolutely senseless acts by Defendant and two separate victims." Radimak has been involved in previous road rage incidents in Los Angeles. Radimak was charged in 2023 with threatening multiple drivers in Southern California and damaging some of their cars. He was convicted in 2023"
