Television drama turned into reality today on the set of the remake of "Hawaii Five-0". That's after police arrested a man at Ala Moana Beach Park.
The action that took place on the set today wasn't even scripted. Of course there were the cameras, drama, and stars of the show. But late this morning, when crews were filming a scene for an episode that includes actor Billy Baldwin, an extra scene took place.
"Yeah we were filming a scene at Ala Moana Mall and we have two gentlemen who were rowdy and took a plant out of the ground and threw it at one of our background," said Val Morrison, crew member.
The crew jumped into action and chased after the suspects on foot across the street, to Ala Moana Beach Park.
"Restrained them until HPD came and uh now they're handling it and they know not to disrespect Five-0," Morrison said.
Honolulu Police arrested Joseph Tui for assault. The 31-year-old has been in trouble with the law before. Previous charges include theft, sex assault and burglary. Three years ago, Tui was also the victim of this incident that was captured on video surveillance. Three adult corrections officers at the Halawa Correctional Facility were seen assaulting Tui inside the prison. The officers were fired. Tui, who had been serving a 10-year-sentence for burglary, was just released less than two months ago.
No one was seriously injured in Friday's incident. CBS has not yet released an official statement.
Commentary: Fortunately the crew was alert enough to realize what was happening, able to apprehend the knucklehead until police arrived on the scene. Thankfully no one was injured while the knucklehead did his foolish act.
