Victoria police are looking for a woman in her early 20s who's alleged to have chased a security guard while brandishing a knife.

Police say it started yesterday afternoon in a parking lot of Hillside Mall when the security guard approached a couple having a loud argument.

When the guard asked the man and woman to leave, police say she pulled out the knife and chased the guard.

The pair took off together and now police are searching for the slim, Caucasian woman.

Victoria Police on Twitter:

UPDATE | The suspect has been identified in an incident at a Victoria mall where a security guard was chased with a knife yesterday. Thank you for sharing her information.
