Bricks, hammer used in Perth attack

A man has thrown bricks and used a hammer to attack four people, including a 71-year-old woman, in a street in suburban Perth.

No-one was hurt in the attack in Balga but three cars, including a police vehicle used to block the 28-year-old's escape from the home in a stolen car, were damaged in the attack on Saturday.

Police used a taser to subdue the man before detaining him. He's due to appear in court on Sunday to face a number of charges.
