The Maui doctor who allegedly tried to kill his wife Monday at the Pali Lookout was charged today with second-degree attempted murder.

Honolulu police said bail for Gerhardt Konig was set at $5 million after the case was conferred with the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney’s office.

Konig, 46, allegedly struck his wife, 36, attempted to push her off the Pali Puka hiking trail and then struck her multiple times with a rock Monday morning. Two witnesses called 911.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said the woman sustained multiple facial and head injuries. She was taken to the emergency room in critical condition and reported to EMS that she was assaulted with closed fists and an object.

Police said officers apprehended Konig after a brief pursuit by foot and arrested him near Nuuanu Pali Drive at 6:10 p.m. Monday.

Konig is an anesthesiologist on the Valley Isle. In a statement Tuesday, Maui Health said, “Dr. Konig is employed by an independent entity contracted to provide medical services at various medical facilities on Maui, including Maui Memorial Medical Center. Dr. Konig’s medical staff privileges at Maui Memorial Medical Center have been suspended pending investigation.”
