A Murrays Bay woman says she had to run screaming and calling for help after a man chased her off the beach with a "big knife".

The people encircling the man didn't appear to know each other and had weapons of their own, he said. The woman immediately called police. Two men struck the knife-wielding man - once in the leg and once in the head - which brought the man to the ground, Steve said. "And - fight or flight - I turned away and ran the other way and I looked back and he had a big knife, running at me," she said. "I was wearing headphones and went to take the headphones off to talk to him because that's what I thought he wanted," she told the Herald. He turned around and began approaching her and the woman at first thought he "wanted to chat".
