A WOMAN was carjacked at knifepoint by a hooded man in Bradford this morning.

The victim was alone in the black VW Golf at a red traffic light on Marlborough Road, Manningham, at around 7.45am when a man got into the car and ordered her to get out of it. 

When she refused he threatened her with a knife, of a similar size to a nailfile.

The woman then climbed out of her car and the man drove away towards Manningham Lane, Bradford.

He was wearing a black hooded top, which was pulled over his face, had fair-coloured facial stubble and spoke with a Yorkshire accent.

The VW Golf has a number plate YK62 JPU.
