Yesterday's chase around O'ahu came a day after a similar incident in East Honolulu.

Two men were arrested Wednesday evening after a stolen van fleeing police plowed through more than a dozen cars and was shot at by an officer on Kalaniana'ole Highway near Kahala.

The men were arrested after a brief foot chase.

Patrick Masaoka, 27, the driver, faces charges including first- and second-degree attempted murder, 13 counts of criminal property damage, and driving a stolen vehicle. The passenger, Randy Ahnee, 39, was booked for detaining stolen property.

Masaoka has seven prior criminal convictions, including forgery and breaking into a car. Ahnee has six, including attempted murder and attempted first-degree burglary.

The incident damaged vehicles and stalled traffic for hours in both directions along Kalaniana'ole Highway.

Police said 13 vehicles and a motorcycle were damaged by the stolen Plymouth Voyager van during the 4:25 p.m. incident at the highway's 'Ainakoa Avenue intersection.

Police said both men would be charged today.
