Hawaii man, 37, is arrested after being caught on camera shoving woman, 69, into the street in unprovoked daylight attack

Jordan Wong, 37, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon in Honolulu

A Hawaii man has been arrested over an unprovoked attack on an elderly woman as she walked down a street in Honolulu.

Security camera footage shows a man - identified by police as Jordan Wong, 37 - intentionally knocking over Kristy Nguyen, 69, and sending her crashing into the street on August 7. 

The man can be seen walking down the sidewalk of South Beretania Street at around 11:30am, wearing a blue shirt and black mask.

Nguyen is seen walking in the opposite direction, on her way home after running errands. 

The man is then seen walking directly towards Nguyen, and shoving her off the sidewalk and into the street.

Nguyen is seen crashing to the floor and hitting her head before crying for help. 

Nguyen was walking in the opposite direction of Wong when she was pushed off the sidewalk and fell on her head into the street 

Nguyen is seen crashing to the floor and hitting her head before crying for help as the man walks away uunconcerned 

 But the man appears to walk away, unconcerned. 

'The left side is very bad because I fell on the left side,' Nguyen told KHON2.

'At night I can't sleep. My body hurt very bad, when I move it's very painful.'

Nguyen added that she doesn't know why she was attacked and even avoided Wong as he came near her. 

She claims she is now afraid to walk on that street as this is the second time within two months that she has been targeted.

Laura Lemar, an employee at Wong's Drapery, ran out to help Nguyen who sustained bruises on her wrist and complained of back pain

Another man had approached and threatened her as he held his fist to her face before he walked away.  

Laura Lamar, a worker in a nearby store, witnessed the latest attack and ran to help Nguyen.

'It’s horrible. I was shocked. I didn’t eat for the whole day,' Lamar told Hawaii News Now. 

'She’s so tiny and she was crying for a good 30 minutes. It was horrible, I was crying too.'

Nguyen said she tried to avoid Wong before he attacked her and does not know why she was targeted  

 She says she is now afraid to walk down that street as she has been targeted twice within two months 

Another man had previously threatened her and shook his fist in her face before walking away  

Lamar also reported that Nguyen sustained bruises on her wrist and was complaining about back pain.

Wong was charged on Wednesday for one count of second-degree assault and is being held on a $20,000 bail. 

He is possibly looking at a five-year sentence if convicted but may face more after Gov. David Ige signed into law Act 147 on July 1.

The act makes intentionally or knowingly causing bodily injury to anyone 60 or older a Class C felony. 

Steve Alm, a prosecuting attorney, said in a press release: 'Those who prey upon our kupuna will be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

'We are thankful that the Legislature passed, and the Governor signed into law, Act 147, which provides much-needed protections for some of our most vulnerable residents. 

'If Wong is convicted, we will be seeking the maximum prison term, not probation, to protect the safety of the public.'

 A kupuna is an honored elder in Hawaii, according to Fox News. 

Crimestoppers Sgt. Chris Kim told KHON2: 'Something like this, it angers people. 

'The people of Hawaii definitely rallied together. They got very upset cause we all have mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts. It just really struck home for a lot of people.'
