Woman held at knifepoint as family slept

At about 11.15pm (AEST) on Friday, a 55-year-old woman was sitting in the lounge of her house in the Turvey Park suburb of Wagga Wagga, when a man entered the house through the rear door, police said.


The man allegedly grabbed the woman from behind and held a knife to her throat.


The woman struggled and her throat was cut.


The man then fled the house and emergency services were called.


The woman's 73-year-old husband, 14-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter were at home asleep during the attack and were unhurt.
Police are investigating whether the attempted abduction is connected to another break-in that happened just over two kilometres away.
