At 7:20 p.m. on January 22, Halifax Regional Police Patrol members responded to a report that a man had been stabbed in an apartment building in the 0-100 block of Lakefront Road in Dartmouth. Officers responded and found the 20-year-old victim suffering from a stab wound. It has been learned that a number of suspects forced their way into the victim’s apartment and assaulted and robbed him. One suspect had a baseball bat, while a second suspect had a knife. The victim suffered a stab wound during the incident. The suspects fled after taking the victim’s cell phone and other personal effects. The victim was transported to hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. A 17-year-old male was arrested on Trinity Avenue in relation to the incident about one hour later but was later released without charge. The investigation is ongoing. This incident was not random in nature.
