The girl escaped Saturday after she struggled with Mahi outside Cafe Pesto in Hilo, police said in court documents filed Tuesday. A bystander stopped Mahi from chasing the girl, and another man said, “That’s the girl in the news,” the documents said.The girl’s boyfriend reported Friday that a man armed with a knife approached them, forced the girl to restrain his hands and legs with zip ties and kidnapped her, police said in the court documents.
She said she was then taken to a home where she was kept in a parked yellow bus with a cable and a shackle attached to her ankle, according to the court document. The next day, she persuaded Mahi to take her to the cafe, the documents said.
