Halifax District RCMP charge man with sexual assault
Halifax District RCMP has charged a man in relation to a sexual assault, involving a youth, that occurred in Lower Sackville.
On July 13, at approximately 7:15 p.m., Halifax District RCMP received a complaint of a sexual assault that occurred at a transit bus terminal on Walker Ave. in Lower Sackville. RCMP officers learned that a youth at the bus terminal was groped by a man, who had made sexual comments, before fleeing on foot. A second man, who was present and known to the victim, attempted to follow the perpetrator and contacted 9-1-1.

RCMP officers transported the man to the Lower Sackville RCMP detachment where he subsequently assaulted an officer while refusing to identify himself.
