An elderly Murgon couple who had been attending the Kingaroy Eisteddfod were assaulted at knifepoint on Wednesday evening and their vehicle stolen.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson said the woman and her husband, aged in their 70s, were entering their parked car in Glendon Street, Kingaroy, about 5:45pm when they were approached by two teenage boys.<\/p>\n

One of the boys yelled at the man before the second approached the passenger side of the vehicle, produced a knife and pulled the woman from the vehicle.<\/p>\n

She suffered minor injuries when she fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

The two boys then drove from the scene.<\/p>\n

The injured woman was taken to Kingaroy Hospital for treatment but was later released.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her husband was not physically injured but both have been left severely shaken.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, emergency services were called to a vehicle on fire in Barambah Avenue, Cherbourg, at 11:53pm.<\/p>\n

It is believed to have been the couple’s 2015 Holden Captiva.<\/p>\n

Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has relevant information to contact police on Crime Stoppers on 1800-333-000.<\/p>\n

Investigations are continuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
