An officer discovered the woman – identified as Nicole O’Neill, 37 – had an warrant and she was arrested. The man reported he had several warrants out of Upper Bucks County, police said.
As several were officers at the scene, a man approached them and said he was robbed by a woman who matched the description of O’Neill, police said.

The woman had a folding knife that was “broken, but operational” at the time of the robbery, police said.
She reportedly told the man not to move and ripped the chain and cross from the man’s neck before she left, police said.
