Renowned doctor arrested Hawaii: A prominent doctor has been accused of attempting to murder his nuclear engineer wife by pushing her off a trail in Hawaii and striking her head with a rock, according to police.
Gerhardt Konig, 46, was arrested on Monday, March 24, after allegedly attacking his 36-year-old wife, Arielle Konig, at the Pali Lookout in Oahu, leaving her in critical condition. Arielle reportedly told authorities that Konig assaulted her with closed fists and a rock before attempting to shove her off the hiking trail.
In a disturbing indication that the alleged attack was premeditated, Konig allegedly produced two syringes containing an unknown substance and jabbed Arielle with them.
According to the Star Advertiser, the assault occurred after Arielle refused to take a picture with him.
She sustained serious head and facial injuries and was transported to the hospital for treatment, local media reported.

Konig, an anesthesiologist, fled the scene on foot but was apprehended after a brief chase.
“HPD officers located Gerhardt Konig near Pali Highway and arrested him after a short foot pursuit. Charges are pending. Mahalo to the public for your assistance,” Honolulu police stated.
The couple, who have been married since 2018, reside in a $1.5 million home in Maui but were visiting the scenic location in Oahu at the time of the alleged incident.
Konig was previously married and has at least one child.
Following his arrest, he was suspended from his position as an independent contractor serving multiple facilities under Maui Health.
“Maui Health is committed to patient safety and upholding the highest standards of care,” the organization said in a statement to KHON2.
“We have been made aware of the allegations against Gerhardt Konig, MD. Dr. Konig has been suspended from the Medical Staff pending investigation.”
Konig previously served as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of Medicine and Engineering before becoming a partner at the Anesthesia Medical Group in Maui.
