Police in Nova Scotia say they’ve charged two men after an attack early today in a small community on the southern outskirts of Halifax following an argument that involved fishing for baby eels.
Police say the man was then approached by a group of seven people and was assaulted with a pipe by one man.
Investigators allege a second man brandished a knife and a conducted energy weapon during the assault on Shore Club Road, and the group of men then fled the area in three vehicles. RCMP officers who were en route observed the three vehicles on St. Margaret’s Bay Road and carried out a traffic stop, arresting a 45-year-old man and a 48-year-old man in relation to the alleged assault.
A news release says investigators seized a conducted energy weapon and an unsecured shogun during a search of the vehicle and that a second, loaded shotgun was also found discarded on the roadway in an area before the traffic stop. The 45-year-old is charged with careless use of a firearm, possession of an unauthorized firearm and assault with a weapon, and the 48-year-old is charged with careless use of a firearm and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 13, 2023.
