Man attacks officer, medic during arrest

Police are still investigating a strange incident early yesterday morning in Dartmouth.

They got calls about a man running around outside in his underwear around 2:00am. They got there and arrested a 24 year old man and put him in an ambulance…but then the man became agitated and attacked the officer and paramedic. They finally got him under control but the officer received minor injuries.

Province to Impose Contract on Teachers

The Nova Scotia government will begin imposing a contract on teachers tomorrow. Premier Stephen McNeil has called the legislature back for an 8pm Monday night session to legislate a contract on the province’s 9,300 teachers. In a release last night, McNeill says the decision was made after ‘considerable soul searching’. However, McNeil says the labour disruption needs to end ‘so the lives of students and parents can return to normal’. The move follows a vote on Thursday that saw teachers reject a third tentative deal that had been reached between their union and the province.
