Woman arrested after Tonsley incident

About 7.15pm today (Tuesday 6 October), police were called to the Southern Expressway off-ramp near Ayliffes Road after reports of a woman walking on the road.

Traffic was trying to avoid the woman as cars had to drive around her.

Patrols were on scene within minutes and when they attempted to restrain the woman, she allegedly tried to stab at police with a small knife.

One of the officers deployed a taser to safely resolve the incident.

No police officers were injured.

The 38-year-old Lameroo woman will face numerous charges including aggravated assault and assault prescribed emergency worker.

She will be refused bail and appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court tomorrow.
