Brutal attack in Wahiawa caught on video

A horrifying video circulating online has sparked outrage across Hawaii after it captured four teenagers violently attacking a 21-year-old woman with an intellectual disability. The assault took place in Wahiawa, a small town located approximately 20 miles north of Honolulu, and has since drawn condemnation from residents, law enforcement, and advocacy groups alike.

The footage, first reported by the New York Post, shows the young woman—identified as Carly—being surrounded by two teens who mock her, demand she remove her backpack, and slap her glasses off her face. One of the attackers, 18-year-old Jasmine Keola, is seen escalating the situation as Carly crouches on the ground, screaming and clearly distressed.

“This is why I don’t want to take the bus anymore, because I don’t want to mess with you,” Carly says in the video, her voice filled with despair.

Verbal taunts and physical violence escalate

As Carly attempts to walk away, the teens follow her, continuing their verbal abuse.

“What are you going to do?” one girl taunts.

“I’m going to leave my everything … right now,” Carly replies as she tries to escape the confrontation.

The violence, however, only intensifies. The attackers knock Carly to the ground again, where she is punched and kicked in the head. She appears unable to defend herself.

“Now what are you going to do? F***g dumb ct,” one assailant is heard yelling in the footage.

“She’s knocked out,” another teen says with apparent pride.

Community steps in to bring attackers to Justice

The shocking video ignited an immediate and emotional response from the local community. Witnesses and residents began chasing the perpetrators and were instrumental in helping law enforcement locate and arrest the teenagers.

“This was absolutely cruel. It was more than bullying … it was a senseless, cruel assault and simply pure evil. The girls involved in this should be absolutely ashamed of themselves,” said Michael Kitchens, a Honolulu resident and founder of Stolen Stuff Hawaii, a local anti-crime initiative.

“It was one of the worst actions you can take against someone who is unwilling, defenseless, and, unfortunately, one who suffers with disabilities. I do not have sympathy for them,” Kitchens added.

Social Media livestreams amplify public outrage

The manhunt for the attackers played out live on social media, drawing thousands of viewers. At one point, more than 11,000 people were tuned into Instagram Live as residents documented their search. Some were seen climbing buildings in pursuit of the teens.

“It’s not right. We’re not bullies ourselves. You shouldn’t bully anybody else, especially someone that can’t stand up for themselves,” said Journey Emond, a senior at Leilehua High School, in an interview with Hawaii News.

Ongoing investigation and call for accountability

Law enforcement authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident, and the teenagers involved are expected to face criminal charges. Advocates for people with disabilities have called for stricter measures to prevent similar acts of violence and harassment in the future.

The video has served as a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by vulnerable individuals—and the responsibility communities share in protecting them.
