A 59-year-old Palolo man has been charged with threatening his 21-year-old son with a knife in Palolo.

Tim Orallo, of Ahe Street, was charged with first-degree terroristic threatening Tuesday night. He was being held at Oahu Community Correctional Center on $75,000 bail.

Police said Orallo and his son were in an argument that escalated into Orallo assaulting his son Tuesday afternoon, then grabbing a knife and holding it close to his son while making threats. Orallo’s son ran away and called police. Orallo was arrested at his home without incident.
