Tauranga police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was held at knife point.
A police media spokeswoman said about 8am on Wednesday a man approached a vehicle on Courtney Rd in Tauranga and presented a knife to the victim and demanded their vehicle, a white-coloured Holden Captiva.
"The victim
managed to fight off the offender and the offender fled on foot.
"The victim sustained minor injuries and understandably very shaken by the incident. Victim support is being offered to the person," she said.
The man was described as Māori and was wearing black-coloured jeans and hoodie and his face was covered with a red and white bandanna.
