Oahu Gym Encounter: “Tesla Road Rage Driver” Accused of Threatening Woman
Honolulu, hawaii — A woman has come forward with details of a disturbing encounter at a Planet Fitness gym in Kahala, Oahu, involving a man identified as Nathaniel Radimak, 38, who has been dubbed the serial “Tesla Road Rage Driver.” The woman, fearing for her safety, spoke to news outlets on the condition of anonymity.
The Gym Confrontation
The incident occurred on Good Friday. The woman stated that Radimak threatened her after she walked past a piece of equipment he was using. I walked past the machine he was using and he came up behind me and saeid, ‘Hey do me a favor. Don’t ever — walk past my machine when I’m using it again,’
she recounted.
Did You Know?
Hawaii consistently ranks among the safest states in the U.S., but incidents like this serve as a reminder that crime can occur anywhere. Always be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious behavior to the authorities.
Shocked by the unprovoked aggression, the woman stood her ground.I’m not one to be spoken to like that, so I just said, ‘Don’t talk to me like that.’ And then he said, ‘You wanna try me —? I’ll sock you right in your — face,’
she said.
she then began recording the encounter on her phone. As the tension escalated, Radimak allegedly took a swing at her, alarming other gym patrons. She reported that he narrowly missed striking her. It happened so quick. I saw him getting close to me so I was automatically, I guess in defense mode,
she explained.
Identifying the Alleged Assailant
Following the incident, the woman used a screenshot from her video to conduct an image search. The search results identified the man as Nathaniel Radimak, who had previously been convicted in Southern California for a series of road-rage attacks. He had been sentenced to five years but was released on parole after serving only 10 months.
Prior Incidents and Legal Proceedings
Radimak made headlines again on May 7 after an alleged assault in Kakaako. According to court records, he reportedly attacked two women who were parallel parking on Halekauwila Street.

- Always be aware of your surroundings.
- If confronted, remain calm and avoid escalating the situation.
- Record the incident if possible, but prioritize your safety.
- Report any threats or assaults to the police promptly.
Guy Martinez, of Honolulu Bimmer, captured the assault on his security cameras.I heard somebody say ‘Slow down’ or ‘Hey!’ I couldn’t really hear it, but that’s what it sounded like,
Martinez said. His cameras then recorded the alleged attack. A few seconds later, I saw the car make a U-turn and come back and then I saw the guy go across the street and reach into the car. Looked like he punched her,
Martinez added.
Radimak appeared in court on Monday on unrelated traffic charges.Following this appearance, he was charged with three felony offenses related to the May 7 attack: first-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and two counts of third-degree assault.
Victim’s Plea for Justice
The woman who encountered Radimak at Planet Fitness expressed her hope that he would remain incarcerated. I wanted him to be caught and I did not want him to hurt another woman because I knew it was just a matter of time if no one did anything, he was going to do it again,
she stated.
Radimak is scheduled to appear in court on the new felony charges on Thursday. It remains uncertain whether he will be extradited back to California for potential parole violations. He is currently in custody with bail set at $100,000.
