A 28-year-old man was arrested for robbing a woman at knifepoint at her home in Providence, Rhode Island, on New Year's Day.
A 28-year-old man from Providence , Rhode Island , has been arrested for allegedly robbing a woman at knifepoint at her home on New Year's Day. Joseph Hansen was involved in an armed robbery at a house on the corner of John and Governor streets. The woman had just returned home with her family when the incident occurred. Her husband and children went inside shortly before the attack, and she was cleaning her car when a man wearing a ski mask approached her.
He asked if she had seen his dog before allegedly pulling out a knife and chasing her on her property to steal her purse. Hansen also attempted to steal the woman's electric car but was unable to operate it. Witnesses told police the suspect dropped a hat near Roger and Power streets and then threw his jacket near Williams Street. Officers found the jacket, along with garden sheers, at this location. Hansen was arrested at Gano Street Park shortly after the incident and arraigned the following day in Providence District Court on charges of first-degree robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and attempted larceny. He was held without bail. In court, prosecutors shared more details about the alleged assault, saying Hansen followed the woman onto her property and pulled out a small kitchen-style paring knife, holding it approximately one foot from her torso. During the struggle for her purse, the woman fell to the ground. According to police, Hansen lives on Governor Street, just a couple of blocks from the victim, who told WJAR that she is fine after the incident
