At approximately 2:15 am Halifax Regional Police responded to a weapons complaint that had occurred approximately 30 minutes earlier in the 200 block of Willett St in Halifax. A 29 year old man was walking along Willett St when he approached a man who was sitting alone at a bus stop. As the victim approached the man, he stood up, produced a knife and stated “Don’t move”. The victim was able to kick the man and flee the area without injury or loss of property. Due to the time delay, a suspect was not located. The suspect is described as a man, 5’10” tall, wearing a black winter trench coat and a scarf over his face, carrying a knife approximately 5 inches in length. Anyone with information about this assault is asked to contact Halifax Regional Police at 902-490-5020 or CrimeStoppers.
