Caitlin TillerEastern Reporter

AN Armadale woman (30) will face court today after she allegedly threatened a man in Highgate with what was believed to be a blood-filled syringe.

A WA Police spokeswoman said the woman allegedly approached a green Toyota Camry on Bulwer Street at 1.30pm yesterday and threatened the driver, a 20-year-old Kelmscott man, with a pen and a syringe.

“Fearing for his safety, the driver got out of the vehicle and the woman punched him to the face before getting in the vehicle,” the spokeswoman said.
