A man has been charged following an incident at Mowbray overnight.

Police were called about 9pm Thursday after a person reportedly entered a vehicle on Invermay Road while the driver and a passenger were inside.

The man allegedly threatened the driver while in possession of a small knife.

The victim drove the alleged offender to a location on George Town Road where he exited the vehicle.

Nobody was physically injured during the incident. 

Police quickly responded and located a 32-year-old Mayfield man a short time later at an address in Mayfield.

He was arrested and has since been charged with trespass, assault, and possess a dangerous article.

He will appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court in April.
