Jaisen Kahalehau, 44, was charged with first-degree terroristic threatening.
He was arrested after police were called to the Kahului breakwater at about 8 p.m.
The other man told police that Kahalehau challenged him to a fight and ran toward him while holding an 18-inch machete with the blade pointed up, according to a declaration filed in court to support the charge.
Kahalehau was holding the machete when police officers arrived on scene, according to the declaration.
During Kahalehau’s initial appearance by videoconference Tuesday in Wailuku District Court, Deputy Prosecutor Byron Fujieda asked for bail to be increased from $1,000 to $5,000.
