Driver stabbed in 'bizarre' Adelaide road rage incident

The overturned car on Devonport Terrace, Prospect.

A woman has been arrested after allegedly getting out of her car near an Adelaide intersection and stabbing another driver in the stomach with a knife, in an incident captured on CCTV.

Police said an altercation broke out between the woman and the 53-year-old Hendon man just after 6:00pm on Tuesday.

The vehicles did not collide, but stopped close to the intersection of Trimmer Parade and Findon Road, at Findon in Adelaide's north-west, according to police.

At that point, it is alleged, the woman got out of her car and used a knife to stab the man in the stomach as he was sitting in his driver's seat.

He was taken to Flinders Medical Centre with minor injuries.

"It was just after 6:00pm yesterday, so peak-hour traffic," Senior Constable Kimberley Broad told ABC Radio Adelaide.

"It sounds like some kind of bizarre road rage incident.

"There was no collision, but once stopped at the intersection, the woman's actually exited her car and stabbed the man in the stomach with a knife while he was seated in the driver's seat."

Police charged the woman, who is aged in her 30s and is from Adelaide's north-west, with aggravated assault causing harm and granted her bail.

She will face the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on December 17.

Police spoke "to a number of people at the scene at the time" but are asking anyone who witnessed or captured footage of the incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

In another incident on Tuesday night, emergency services attended the scene of a car rollover at Prospect.

Police and fire crews were called to Devonport Terrace to find the sedan flipped onto its roof.
