For Immediate Release
SUBJECT: Subject arrested for assault with a deadly weapon
LOCATION: 1000 block of Mills Way, Redwood City
DATE/TIME: September 20th, 2023
Media Information: In June of this year a suspect was in an altercation with the victim during a traffic altercation. East Palo Alto resident Sioni Holani (68) brandished a knife during the incident. While driving, the suspect cut off the victim and then began yelling obscenities. Both of them exited their vehicles, and the suspect charged at the victim while holding a large kitchen knife.
RCPD Patrol Officers conducted follow-up on this case by using Holani’s license plate registration information and positively identified him as a suspect. Attempts were made to locate him East Palo Alto and elsewhere but were unsuccessful.
On September 20th Holani was contacted during a separate call for service. An RCPD Patrol Officer recognized him from the June road-rage incident, and he was subsequently arrested. Holani was booked into the San Mateo County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon, a felony.
