The incident occurred around 7:37pm on June 26 at the junction of All Saints and Jonas Roads.

The woman had reportedly visited her doctor and after returning to her vehicle, she entered and locked the doors. It was at this time that an unknown man walked up to the driver’s door and began knocking on the glass, demanding that she open the car door.

Reports are that the suspect was armed with a handgun.

However, the woman was able to reverse her car onto Jonas Road and sped away to safety.

The perpetrator was reportedly dressed in a white shirt and light blue jeans and his hair was braided.

As the investigation is ongoing, the police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or seen the perpetrator to contact the nearest police station.
