At 7:30 p.m. on December 27, the Integrated Emergency Service (IES) Centre received a call from a male who advised he was going to harm someone with a knife and wanted to let the police know. Multiple Halifax Regional Police units searched for the male in the Halifax area. At 8:30 p.m., the male arrived at the QEII Hospital Emergency Department. He had a knife out while confronting security. A Halifax Regional Police officer was present at the QEII for an unrelated incident and confronted the male. The officer arrested the 20-year-old man from Halifax. The man was held for a medical assessment and will be facing several weapons related charges.
