A 28-year-old man is facing serious charges after allegedly robbing a woman at knifepoint in her own driveway on New Year's Day.
A 28-year-old man named Joseph Hansen from Providence, Rhode Island , was arrested for allegedly robbing a woman at knifepoint at her home on New Year's Day. The incident occurred at the intersection of John and Governor streets. According to WJAR, the woman was cleaning her car when Hansen, wearing a ski mask, approached her and asked if she had seen his dog. He then allegedly pulled out a knife, chased her on her property, and demanded her purse.
Hansen also attempted to steal her electric car but was unable to operate it. Witnesses reported seeing Hansen drop a hat near Roger and Power streets and a jacket near Williams Street, where police recovered both items along with gardening shears. Hansen was apprehended 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 revealed that Hansen followed the woman onto her property and brandished a small kitchen knife, holding it one foot from her torso during the struggle for her purse. The woman fell to the ground during the altercation. The victim, who lives a couple blocks away from Hansen on Governor Street, told WJAR that she is fine after the incident
