A man has been charged with 24 offences following a 12-hour armed rampage in Perth's south.
The 28-year-old was arrested shortly before midnight on Thursday after he disturbed a home owner in his bedroom during an alleged home invasion in Carlisle.
The man is accused of beginning his crime spree about 11.30am in Champion Lakes when he tried to hijack a car, wounding the driver with a knife before the victim drove away.
