Hamilton Hill bottle shop attendant stabbed during robbery

A BOTTLE shop attendant was stabbed during an armed hold-up last night.
A 30-year-old Hamilton Hill woman will appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court this morning after she allegedly held up the Palmyra liquor store armed with a knife.

Police will allege the woman went into the Carrington Street store about 9pm and threatened staff with the knife before taking a bottle of spirits.

When a male staff member tried to challenge her, she allegedly lunged at him, stabbing his right shoulderblade, causing a small wound.

It will also be alleged the woman threw some liquor bottles from the shelves at staff before leaving.

She has been charged with armed robbery and unlawful wounding.
