A woman was arrested after allegedly racially abusing a couple during a dispute in a car park and subsequently threatening and attempting to stab the female driver with what was believed to be a penknife.

The incident took place in the Ashgate Retail Park car park, outside Argos, in Ashgate Road, at around 2.30pm on Monday 31 January 2022.

A 45-year-old woman was arrested for attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and for a racially aggravated offence, and has since been released on bail, pending further investigations.

The alleged offender is white, has brown hair, was wearing a dark blue work uniform, and was pictured driving away from the scene in a white Audi.
