Police arrested a Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate Aug. 1 after a violent altercation with another beachgoer at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei, Hawaii.
Authorities charged 40-year-old Kirill Basin with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening after the altercation with a 61-year-old man, according to Hawaii News Now. Basin is running to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Jill Tokuda.
Police said the incident began when Basin threatened the bystander, who had asked him to turn down his music, according to the outlet.
Basin allegedly suggested he had a firearm and threatened to shoot the man’s wife. A physical altercation ensued, during which Basin allegedly picked up a knife, using it to threaten other beachgoers before throwing it into the ocean.
The altercation appeared to end when the 61-year-old man knocked out Basin with a single punch to the face, video posted to social media shows.
Police previously arrested Basin for incidents involving assault and property damage, according to Hawaii News Now. Locals have also taken out restraining orders against him, the outlet noted.
Maui County Council member Thomas Cook said he filed a restraining order against Basin after he interrupted a council meeting in May.
Cook alleged that Basin was “aggressive and confrontational” and had “threatened violence against police” and another council member, Hawaii News Now reported.
Other reports alleged that Basin “brandished a weapon in a county office building in a confrontation with county employees” in May.
Basin’s campaign website calls on Hawaiians to urgently reject hatred and division and “act with love.”
“Aloha is the animating spirit of the change we need to make,” the website says. “Hate and grievance motivate the political ecosystem of bad decisions and indecision. Replicating that will not produce the cooperation we need for things to happen.”

Seems this guy has a lot of Dumocrat resume enhancers...
He is needlessly confrontational. Shopping for trouble.
Just when a small disagreement simmers down, he’ll say something to make it all flare up again.
Who does he remind me of?
Pee Wee Herman, that’s who.
Pee Wee, but after too many Brandys.
Nice work on the .gif, thanks.
Battle of the Bald Guys.
A typical leftist. A man child.
How embarrassing/ amusing.
TKO while flinging a lawn chair like a Jerk.
Now, there’s an “Old Man” who knows how to fight.
He saw an opening, while Junior was winding up for his Big Chair Toss. Leaving his Motor-Mouth, fully unguarded.
“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”
Mike Tyson.
That was a KO, not a TKO. He was out.
You’re right about that. His lights were put out.
I stand corrected.
I’d call one and done
Democrats don’t seem to nominate normal candidates anymore.
Amusing thing about it is he s trying to beat Tokuda, who is a virulent racist, but very cute.
I am sure there is some irony in there somewhere.
