Lindsay Vincent, 24, appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court yesterday charged with aggravated robbery and property damage, after police arrested her over the alleged assault on two men on September29.

Police allege that Vincent was with Timothy Noel Allen and a third person when he attacked two men with a hunting knife as they sat in their ute near the Red Hill shops in the early hours of the morning.

One of the men, Joshua McInnon, told police Allen had approached them demanding drugs or money.

He said Allen told him, ''Give me the drugs or I'll kill your friend.''

He then attacked him savagely with a large curved knife, stabbing him in the chest before going to the driver's side, where he stabbed the second victim, James Elliot, twice in the leg.

They said Vincent also appeared and screamed at them, took the keys, smashed the windscreen and tried to drag one of the men out of the passenger door, with the help of another man, who has not been identified. The three robbed the victims of up to 3g of the drug ice.

A police statement of facts said Mr McInnon had come within millimetres of being killed, and might never regain full use of the hand he used to fend Allen off.

Mr Elliot also sustained serious injuries.

Police responded to a call from a woman about 3.30am saying she had the injured men at her house and that Mr McInnon was bleeding profusely from the chest.

Police had earlier responded to a call about a fight occurring on Discovery Street, and later traced the call to Vincent's mobile.

She told them shortly afterwards that everything was fine and that she had exaggerated when she said there were guns and knives involved.

Later in the day, police conducted a search at Allen's house, where they found bloodstains and glass shards, as well as several knives and a taser gun.

The prosecution opposed bail.

Magistrate John Burns remanded Vincent in custody. She is due back in court later this month.
