Recently released court documents detail a woman’s harrowing account of her husband allegedly attempting to murder her on a hiking trail in Hawaii earlier this week.

Gerhardt Konig, a 46-year-old anesthesiologist, faces charges of attempted second-degree murder. He appeared for a procedural hearing on Thursday in a Honolulu district courtroom, where prosecutors presented an affidavit with evidence against him.

According to court documents procured by Fox News Digital, Konig’s wife reported to police that the couple was hiking on Oahu’s Pali Lookout trail when Konig stood “close to the edge and asked her to take a selfie with him.” She declined, explaining to police that she felt uneasy “taking a picture with him that close to the edge” and consequently “began to walk back.”

Konig’s bail has been set at $5 million, and he is expected back in court on Monday for a preliminary hearing. 

Honolulu’s Prosecuting Attorney’s office declined Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Immediately following the attack, police began asking for the public’s help in locating Konig. He was arrested approximately seven hours later “after a brief foot pursuit” near Pali Highway. 

In a statement to Fox News Digital, an attorney representing the victim said she “is focusing on her recovery at home in Maui with the support of her family,” adding that “she kindly asks that the media and the public respect their privacy during this time.”

Konig obtained his medical license in September 2022, and it remained “valid and in good standing” as of Friday afternoon, according to Hawaii’s professional vocational licensing website. 

Konig has been suspended from his work as an independent contractor at Maui Memorial Medical Center, according to a Maui Health representative. 

“Dr. Konig is employed by an independent entity contracted to provide medical services at various medical facilities on Maui, including Maui Memorial Medical Center,” the organization said in a statement to Fox News Digital, adding,”Dr. Konig’s medical staff privileges at Maui Memorial Medical Center have been suspended pending investigation. Maui Health takes these concerns and the safety of its patients very seriously and will cooperate with authorities as appropriate.”

Konig’s attorneys did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
