    Police were called to a supermarket in Massey about 8.30 on Sunday night.

    The victim was opening her driver's door when she was approached by a stranger who tried to get into her car.

    The offender then threatened her with a machete while trying to get her car keys, but fled when the attempt failed.

    The victim was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
