Tasered on the M1 expressway was an armed lady

Description:

Panic was sparked on the M1 highway in Koorainghat, New South Wales, by a 52-year-old lady brandishing a knife. She allegedly obstructed traffic and threatened drivers Tuesday at approximately 4 p.m. Filmed by a truck driver, she was holding a large blade as police officers tried to negotiate from a distance. As she moved in their direction, a cop caught her off guard and tased her before throwing her to the ground. The woman was taken into custody and the weapon, which was identified as a machete, was confiscated. She is still being held on several charges and was scheduled to appear in Taree Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
