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.
