At approximately 6 p.m., HRP officers responded to a dispute and motor vehicle accident in the area of Glenforest Drive and Lacewood Drive in Halifax. It appears that the incident started in the parking lot at this location. A 23-year-old man was having a dispute with two men who were in a vehicle. The dispute was over some property. The 23-year-old man reached in to the vehicle to retrieve the property and at that time the two men began to drive away dragging the man a short distance up the street. Family members of this man witnessed what was happening and began to pursue the vehicle in their own car. It appears that they forced the vehicle off of the road near Plateau Crescent and in to a tree. The two men who were in the vehicle fled the area on foot. The man who had been dragged up the street was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. An HRP K-9 team attended the scene but the two men who had fled were not located. The people involved in this incident were known to each other. At this time no charges have been laid and the matter is still under investigation.
