Two men allegedly tried to drag a woman off the street at knifepoint as she changed her car tyre, before brave witnesses intervened in Sydney’s west.
Police were called to Browne Parade in Warwick Farm about 2.30pm on Tuesday, following reports of an assault.
They allegedly found a 27-year-old woman had been changing a flat tyre on her car when a man approached her with a knife, threatening her, and attempted to drag her towards a Kia SUV.
Police allege members of the public intervened and the men fled in the vehicle.
“The 27-year-old was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for facial and leg injuries before being taken to hospital for further treatment,” a police statement reads.
At 4pm, police arrested a 22-year-old man on the riverbank of Duck Creek, Auburn and a 24-year-old man on West Street, Auburn.
Witnesses said a dozen police cars filled the short streets around the Auburn dog park and officers were spotted dusting a Kia for fingerprints.
“Don’t worry, you’re safe, the suspects are in custody,” one officer told a concerned local.
Police will allege in court the two men were waiting for the woman in a Liverpool carpark before following her car to Browne Parade.
Both men were charged with robbery armed with offensive weapon, and aggravated robbery and use of corporal violence.
Both men were refused bail to appear before Parramatta Court on Wednesday.
