A woman allegedly drove a car at her ex-partner, his sister and two children deliberately attempting to hit them.
The 34-year-old woman, from Forrest, who cannot be named for legal reasons, faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday.
She was ordered to undergo an assessment at a mental health facility.
Police allege about 11.40am on June 30, the woman drove at her ex-partner, his sister, and two children as they crossed Murray Crescent, Manuka in a deliberate attempt to strike them with her vehicle.
It is further alleged she also breached a family violence order by interacting with her ex-partner and his sister at the same location about 12.40pm later that day, and at a Manuka supermarket about 4pm on July 1.
The interactions were reported to police, who attended a Forrest home about 3pm on Thursday and arrested the woman.
She is set to be charged with three counts of using offensive weapon-dangerous to a person, two counts of contravening of a family violence order, two counts of aggravated stalking, and single counts of dangerous driving and using a mobile phone while driving.
The woman is set to return to court at a later date.
