The 32-year-old woman was stopped in her car at the intersection of Mahoneys and Edgars Roads in Reservoir around 2.40am today.
The offender started damaging the woman’s passenger door, police say.
The driver, who had a 22-year-old female passenger, drove Reservoir Police Station, but it was closed.
There, the same man threatened her at knifepoint for her car keys.
When she refused to hand them over, he slashed her on the arm, leaving a superficial cut.
The man then fled in his own car.
The victim drove to a nearby shopping centre car park and called triple zero.
Police believe the offender is known to the victim.
The Police Association said in a statement the closure was a “frustrating necessity, amid the “current resourcing crisis.”
“The irregularity of these closures can confuse the community when they seek urgent face-to-face assistance, and can create a risk for people seeking refuge,” it said.
Investigations are ongoing.
