WA man charged over knife threat
A 30-year-old Perth man has been charged after allegedly threatening a woman with a knife and forcing her into his car while she was walking towards a train station.
Police said the 30-year-old victim was walking along Knock Place in Jandakot, towards the Cockburn Central train station at 7pm on Tuesday when the man in a silver Holden Commodore pulled up beside her.
He exited the vehicle and threatened the woman with a knife, and managed to get her into the passenger side of the vehicle, police said.
As the man walked to the driver's side of the vehicle, the woman got out of the vehicle and ran to nearby people for assistance, police said.
The man has been charged with deprivation of liberty and threats to kill.
He is due to appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court later on Friday.
