A woman seated on the trunk of her car at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in a commercial parking lot at 2930 Sacramento St., was threatened by a driver who drove toward her car at high speed.  

Driving a red Mazda, the suspect drove into the parking lot, saw the victim, and made a U-turn. She sped toward the victim, narrowly missing her car. Then the suspect stopped, got out of her car and challenged the victim to a fight, which did not occur. 

The suspect returned to her car and drove away, said Lt. Russell Lopes of the Berkeley Police Department. He said the victim made no mention of knowing the suspect in her statement to police. 

Sandra Sharrell Watson was apprehended at Stanton and Russell streets and was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
