POLICE have charged a man after an assault on an elderly woman in the carpark of a Maddington shopping centre on Saturday.
Gosnells police were conducting routine foot patrols of the shopping centre about 11.30am when a member of the public told them an assault had just taken place in the carpark.
When officers arrived at the scene they saw a number of people shouting at a man being taken away by security staff, and an elderly woman lying on the ground receiving first aid from members of the public.
It will be alleged the man assaulted the 81-year-old woman after her shopping trolley touched the front of his vehicle.
After being struck by the man, it is believed the woman fell backwards to the ground and sustained lacerations.
She appeared to be in shock and was having difficulty breathing, and was taken to Armadale Hospital by St John Ambulance for treatment to her injuries.
The offender was removed from the immediate vicinity for his own protection.
A 40-year -ld man from Gosnells has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and will appear in the Armadale Magistrates Court on Friday.
