KNIFE ATTACK: Young driver Kiran Page shows how long her attacker's knife was. She was robbed after being forced to take the teenager to Lockridge.
A TERRIFIED young woman has told how she accidentally ran over a teenager who forced his way into her car and tried to rob her at knifepoint today.

Kiran Page, 18 , had turned in to Ivanhoe St in Bassendean at about 2.30am when a youth jumped in front of her car, waving his arms and calling for her to stop.

The teenager, who smelt of alcohol, climbed into the passeger seat before she had a chance to lock the door and politely asked to be driven to Lockridge ...

"He was very polite but it was just that he turned pretty quickly once I stopped the car.

"He asked me the time and I turned around and he had a knife in my face.''

Ms Page said she responded by reversing away at speed, knocking her attacker to the ground ...
ABC:
Police say the woman panicked and accidentally knocked the Aboriginal man over with her car as she sped away, but noticed he got up and ran off.
