Police are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man, following reports of an attempted carjacking in Tamworth yesterday.
Officers say a 49-year-old woman was sitting inside her vehicle in the driveway of a residence on Ridge Street just after two o’clock in the morning, when a man carrying a knife attempted to open the driver’s side door.
As the woman attempted to reverse out of the driveway, the man ran after her and opened the passenger door. Before he could enter, the woman drove off and alerted Police.
