A 56-year-old woman is behind bars - after she was arrested in the CBD for allegedly refusing to wear a mask twice.

Police say the woman was provided a face covering by officers - but threw it back at them on Sunday near Barrack Street - and a second time in the Hay Street Mall on Tuesday.

The 56-year-old was arrested and refused bail following Tuesday's incident.

She fronted court for that confrontation yesterday - and will stay in jail until June 1 - where the woman will face a Perth Magistrate for Sunday's incident.
