A Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate was knocked unconscious during a profanity-laced beach confrontation captured on video days before he appeared in court on two felony terroristic threatening charges.
The video opens with Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate and U.S. House candidate Kirill Basin approaching a group of beachgoers and telling one man, "Put your bag away, bro. Put your bag away."
A woman then approached Basin as music by the Pixies played from a nearby speaker. Basin told the group, "I told him if he wants to go to the hospital, come here."
The confrontation briefly appeared to cool when Basin said, "It is over," before shaking another person's hand. The reprieve lasted only seconds.
Basin then turned toward another beachgoer, shouted an obscenity and resumed arguing with members of the group. When a man told Basin he was speaking to his girlfriend, Basin replied, "I don't care."
The exchange quickly escalated. Basin repeatedly asked, "What are you going to do?" before challenging another man to fight.
After a woman called him "a child," Basin turned toward her, demanded to know what she had said and threatened to "put [her] in the ground" and "in the hospital" before walking away while calling her a derogatory term.
Moments later, Basin walked back toward his belongings where a larger man – later identified as Kama Homan – approached from behind. Basin shoved Homan before the two began scuffling.
Basin stumbled backward over two beach chairs and fell to the sand. After getting back to his feet, he grabbed one of the chairs and swung it at Homan, who shoved the chair aside before punching Basin and knocking him unconscious.
Homan walked over and repeatedly told Basin to "wake up." Once Basin regained consciousness, he told someone he was "going to jail" before walking away. Moments later, he charged toward Homan again while shouting obscenities.
Homan, who said he had mixed martial arts training, told criminal complaint, which Fox News Digital reviewed, alleged Basin threatened multiple people during the confrontation, including Homan. A second felony count specifically alleged Basin threatened Homan with a knife.
Homan said he recovered what he described as a 5-inch switchblade and turned it over to Maui police.
Fox News Digital reached out to Basin and his attorney, Brandon Segal, for comment.
During Tuesday's initial court appearance, a judge maintained Basin's $1 million bail and ordered him to have no contact with Homan and four other people.
If released, Basin also must stay away from Keawakapu Beach, including its parking lot, refrain from possessing firearms or ammunition, avoid drugs and alcohol, submit to random drug testing and undergo a mental health assessment with any recommended treatment.
Basin was scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing Thursday at 1 p.m.
