Police Commissioner Col Blanch says police have charged a 35-year-old Bullsbrook woman with attempting to unlawfully kill after a Woolworths worker at Ellenbrook Central shopping centre was allegedly stabbed while stacking shelves.

WA’s top cop told Gareth Parker in his regular segment on 6PR Breakfast the random attack was “a very frightening and unusual incident” and one officers had not encountered before.

“That poor lady was just doing her job and had no warning that that was about to happen,” he said.
