Karrinyup shopping centre, Knife threat: Teen arrested after allegedly threatened staff with knife

A shopping centre full of weekend shoppers has been thrown into chaos after a teenager allegedly ran through with a knife.

It comes two weeks after seven people were killed and 12 more injured during a stabbing attack at Bondi Junction Westfield on April 13.

Police swarmed on Karrinyup Shopping Centre in the north of Perth about 3.45pm on Saturday, following reports a person was armed with a knife, a WA police spokesperson told PerthNow.

A teen allegedly brandished a knife and threatened staff while attempting to steal from the Myer.

He then fled the store, terrifying shoppers who glimpsed him racing past with a knife in hand.

More to come.
