Police Make Arrest in Stabbing Incident

Investigators in the Halifax Regional Police/RCMP General Investigation

Section have a man in custody in relation to the stabbing at a downtown

Halifax parkade.

On March 3 at 4:06 a.m., police responded to a report of an injured

person at a parkade located at 1554 Hollis Street. Officers located an

injured man on the Granville Street level of the parkade. The

28-year-old male victim, who had been stabbed, was taken to the QEII

Health Science Centre with what were described as life-threatening

injuries. He remains in hospital at this time, however, his condition

has improved to the point that investigators were able to interview him

last week.

Investigators also identified a person of interest in this file last

week and have been making efforts to locate and arrest him. The

31-year-old Halifax man turned himself in today at approximately 1:40

p.m. at the police office located on Mellor Avenue in Dartmouth. He is

currently in custody and investigators are questioning him in relation

to this incident.
