Man charged after allegedly making threats at Hannah Beazley's electoral office A man has been charged after he allegedly wielded a pair of nunchucks and made threats at the electoral office of WA Local Government Minister Hannah Beazley. Police said they responded to reports of a man causing a disturbance at Ms Beazley's office in Victoria Park, 4 kilometres south-east of the Perth CBD, around 1.15pm yesterday. The 56-year-old man allegedly threatened staff at the office while in possession of an "improvised martial arts weapon". Nobody was injured in the incident and the man, from the nearby suburb of Bentley, was arrested at the scene. Ms Beazley was not in the office at the time. The man has been charged with making unlawful threats, being armed in a way that may cause fear and possessing cannabis. His bail was refused and he is expected to face Perth Magistrates Court later today. Loading
