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 John and Governor streets. The woman had just returned home with her family and was cleaning her car when a masked man approached her, asking if she had seen his dog. He then allegedly pulled out a knife, chased her on her property, and tried to take her purse.
Hansen also attempted to steal the woman's electric car but was unable to operate it and fled. Witnesses told police the suspect dropped a hat near Roger and Power streets and his jacket near Williams Street, where officers found it along with garden sheers. Hansen was arrested at Gano Street Park shortly after the incident and arraigned the next day in Providence District Court on charges of first-degree robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and attempted larceny. He was held without bail. Prosecutors shared details in court, stating that Hansen followed the woman onto her property and brandished a small paring knife, holding it one foot from her torso. During the struggle for her purse, the woman fell. Police say Hansen lives on Governor Street, a couple blocks from the victim, who told WJAR she is fine after the incident
