Serial road rage suspect Nathaniel Radimak, 38, who allegedly attacked an Asian American mother and daughter in Honolulu earlier this month, is back behind bars at the Halawa Correctional Facility following hospitalization after being beaten by fellow inmates.

The road rage incident occurred on May 7 when Diane Ung's 18-year-old daughter was reportedly attempting to parallel park on Halekauwila Street with her 7-month-old daughter in the backseat. 'This guy just comes zooming down, maybe about 40 to 50 in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. And my daughter just sticks her head out the window and says, 'slow down,'' Ung told KHON 2.
Surveillance video shows a Tesla making a U-turn before its male driver approached the vehicle, reached through the window and punched Ung's daughter in her jaw area. Ung, who intervened by throwing coffee at the driver, also told KABC that 'he came running across the street, struck me like a Superman punch right inside my face,' resulting in a gash that required eight stitches.

Arrest and assault
Honolulu police arrested Radimak on May 8 at an apartment on Ala Wai Boulevard, charging him with unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and two counts of assault. His bail was set at $100,000, and he was additionally arrested on a no-bail parole revocation warrant.
Radimak, however, sustained injuries to his face and torso after being allegedly assaulted by fellow inmates in a housing unit at the Halawa facility on May 12. A photo making rounds on social media shows him in a wheelchair with facial bruises.

Criminal history
Radimak was released from California prison last August after serving less than a year of a five-year sentence for multiple road rage attacks across Southern California. He is now being held at the Halawa facility instead of jail due to his status as a convicted felon and parole violator in California's correctional system.
Radimak is scheduled for arraignment on Thursday and will be extradited to California only after serving any sentences in Hawaii if convicted, authorities said.
