Two suspects are sought after a man was assaulted in Dartmouth.

Police say the 50-year-old was coming out of a Joseph Street home around 7:30 yesterday evening when he was confronted.

One of the men tried to get a knife hidden in his clothing, but the victim fought him off and the pair left. One suspect is a twentysomething white man with blond hair, who wore a red coat and red bandana on his face. The other is a black man who wore dark pants and a black hoodie.

Premier Stephen McNeil has finally called the much anticipated provincial election for May 30th.

McNeil was taking shots at the other parties at a rally yesterday. He accussed the Conservatives of being negative about the province’s future. He said the NDP is ready to write a blank cheque to labour.
