Halifax Regional Police is investigating a sexual assault that occurred over the weekend in Halifax.
On October 3 between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. a man exited a residence in the 1200 to 1300 block of Robie Street and approached a woman, who was not known to him, who was walking on the sidewalk. He pulled her to an area on the side of the residence and sexually assaulted her.
