Dramatic police bodycam video shows the bloody, battered wife of a Hawaii doctor accused of trying to fatally bash in her head in with a rock being escorted by two nurses near the cliff where the harrowing attack unfolded.

Arielle Konig, 37, a renowned nuclear engineer, is shown in the footage limping with a massive gash in her head as two women help her down a hiking trail, NBC News reported.

Konig is then treated by medics with her head wrapped with a bandage, according to the footage, which prosecutors say is key evidence that her husband, Gerhardt Konig, tried to kill her.

“I’m trying to stop the bleeding until they get here,” one person can be heard frantically saying in the video, which was played to jurors during Gerhardt’s trial Tuesday.

Gerhardt, 47, an anesthesiologist from Maui, is accused of trying to push his wife off a cliff — then botching an attempt to inject her with a syringe before striking her several times with a rock as she fought for her life on her birthday.

He allegedly tried to kill her months after she had  “emotional affair,” allegedly shouting “f–k you, you’re done” moments before the attack on March 24, 2025.

During the trial Tuesday, prosecutors said Gerhardt was captured on tape making a call to his son in which he allegedly confessed to trying to off his mother. 

“He says, ‘I am not going to make it back. I tried to kill Arielle, but she got away,'” deputy prosecuting attorney Joel Garner said, according to CBS News.
