Ian Snyder, 34, suffered wounds including a black eye, head lacerations and a broken arm, NBC News reported.

Snyder was found about 1,000 feet below a trail on Oʻahu, according to the Honolulu Fire Department, which reported he was discovered during an air search Dec. 7 after he was reported missing Dec. 4.
