Release:
Officers assigned to the HRP/RCMP Integrated General Investigation
Section have laid charges in connection with a domestic-related incident
on Friday.
At 4 a.m., police were called to the Dartmouth General Hospital after
Security stopped a 58-year-old man attempting to enter the hospital with
a knife, a hammer and a bat. The man began struggling with Security and
was arrested by police when they arrived. The investigators allege that
the man attended the hospital with the intention of causing harm to his
55-year-old wife and her two adult children.
As a result of the investigation, the man faces three counts of
attempted murder and three counts of possession of a weapon for a
dangerous purpose. He is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial
Court today.
