A man armed with a knife has been arrested at the electorate office of Cowan federal Labor MP Anne Aly.
The WA Police Force said office staff were separated from the man by security glass and he did not make threats during the incident, which happened about 4pm on Monday.
Electorate staff spoke with the man until police arrived to arrest him. A spokesman for Dr Aly’s office said the MP was there at the time.
He said everyone was safe and back at work on Tuesday, including Dr Aly, who is the first Muslim woman elected to federal parliament.
The man was taken to Joondalup Health Campus and police are continuing their inquiries into the incident.
