A couple has allegedly been stabbed and another man was allegedly assaulted on their morning walks through Adelaide.
CCTV footage obtained by Nine News allegedly showed a man armed with a homemade knife approach a couple, both aged 63, on Thompson Ave at Salisbury Downs about 7.25am on Friday.
An armed man could allegedly be seen approaching the dog walkers waving a weapon before he slashed the pair.
Another dog walker, 81, tried to intervene and told the man “go get out of the way,” but was allegedly punched by the armed man.
A police spokesman said the 63-year old man and woman were treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries, and the 81-year-old man suffered minor injuries.
Nine News reported a news crew setting up for an interview on Thompson Ave was also approached by the armed man.
A Salisbury Downs man, 29, was later tasered and arrested by police at a nearby petrol station on Salisbury Highway.
“Police received multiple reports from members of the public of a man armed with a sharp weapon,” a spokesman said.
“Northern District police immediately attended and confronted the suspect on Salisbury Highway.
“Officers drew a firearm and deployed a Taser during the incident, safely arresting the man.”
The man has been charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated assault causing harm, aggravated assault and affray.
He was refused bail and is due to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday.
Police urged anyone with information or footage to contact Crime Stoppers.
