The offender allegedly climbed into the victim's car on Florence Avenue on Thursday, pulled out a large knife and ordered her to get out.
The woman, in her seventies, managed to take the keys from the ignition and escape -- before seeking help from a passerby.
A police spokesperson says she's being provided with victim support.
A 31-year-old man is due in the North Shore District Court today charged with assault with intent to rob.
