A 28-year-old man who had recently been released from prison was being held by police yesterday after allegedly threatening to kill several young boys in a Nanakuli neighborhood.

Police said the man, who gave no local address, was arrested Sunday evening near La'aloa and Pa'akai streets after he verbally threatened five boys, ages 5 to 11.

He was being held last night on a possible first-degree terroristic threatening charge.

Police did not say what the man had been in prison for.
