A 46-year-old doctor was arrested Monday after he attempted to kill his wife while hiking in Oahu, according to the Honolulu Police Department. Gerhardt Konig, who is an anesthesiologist, was hiking with his wife Monday morning near Pali Lookout when he “attempted to push her off a hiking trail and struck her in the head with a rock,” police said in a statement. Without confirming her name, Honolulu Emergency Services Department said it treated a 36-year-old woman for head and facial injuries after being assaulted, and she was transported in serious condition to an emergency room. CNN has reached out to police seeking an update on the woman’s condition. Police said they arrested Konig Monday near Pali Highway “after a brief foot pursuit,” adding that charges are pending. The Prosecuting Attorney’s office declined to comment on the case as it is under investigation. Konig’s arrest followed a six-hour manhunt, CNN affiliate KHNL/KGMB reported. CNN is working to identify an attorney for Konig.

Before the stealth bombers streaked through the Middle Eastern night, or the missiles rained down on suspected terrorists in Africa, or commandos snatched a South American president from his bedroom, or the icy slopes of Greenland braced for the threat of invasion, there was an idea at the White House.

More than two weeks after the stunning US raid on Caracas that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the political confrontation over the future of Venezuela is rapidly coalescing around two leaders, both women, who represent different visions for their country: the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, who stands for continuity, and opposition leader María Corina Machado, who seeks the restoration of democracy.
