Two woman robbed at knifepoint in Cairns Two women have been robbed at knifepoint by a group of people in far north Queensland, police say. TWO women have been robbed at knifepoint in broad daylight by a group of people now on the run from police in far north Queensland. Police say a woman was walking to her car behind a building in the Cairns suburb of Manoora on Friday afternoon when a group of four people threatened her with a knife, demanding her bank cards and keys. She was able to escape, but received minor facial injuries. A police spokeswoman told AAP the injuries were likely caused by a punch, not the knife. The group then held up another woman behind a nearby service station 10 minutes later, stole her keys and fled, police said. The group's ringleader is described as an indigenous woman, about 160cm tall with a thin build.
