A 30-year-old man has been charged in the assault Wednesday morning of an 85-year-old woman in Chinatown.

Honolulu prosecutors charged Dylan Moniz Thursday afternoon with second-degree assault.

Police said the man injured the woman at about 7:30 a.m. Officers arrested him at 9:10 a.m. near the intersection of South Hotel Street and Fort Street Mall.

His bail was set at $25,000.

According to online records with the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, Moniz was charged with violation of a protective order, a misdemeanor, but on Feb. 9, 2015, he was acquitted in Honolulu Family Court due to mental capacity.
