A woman was threatened in the incident in Douglas before the suspect fled on foot.

A MAN WAS arrested late last night in Cork, after gardaí received a report of a man attempting to rob a car at knifepoint in the Douglas area.

At around 11.10pm, a woman in her 40s was threatened by a man carrying a knife.
