A man has been taken into custody following an 11-hour manhunt triggered when Perth commuters were allegedly threatened with a knife as they waited for their train. The terrifying incident occurred at Leederville Station about 7.30am on Monday. It is understood the male suspect was angry and allegedly making threats from the overpass. Witness Luke Fox said someone yelled “there’s a man with a knife”.
“It was a bit of a rush because people were pushing and shoving and so it was a bit hectic,” witness Eli Morrison said. No one at the station was injured and police revealed at 6.30pm that a male had been taken into custody and was now assisting with inquiries. “It sounds like a terrifying and very disturbing incident for those commuters this morning,” WA Premier Roger Cook said. The WA Government is currently working to introduce “the strictest knife laws” in the country.
