At 12:45 p.m. on September 4, officers attended the QEII hospital for a male who came to hospital reporting he had been assaulted sometime overnight. The 45-year-old victim told police he had been sleeping in his vehicle, a white SUV, in the parking lot of the Superstore at 1075 Barrington Street in Halifax. Some time during the early morning hours he was awoken by a male suspect tapping on his window asking for a light for a cigarette. When he put down his window he was struck on the head by an unknown object and lost consciousness. When he awoke later in the morning he realized his wallet and a sum of cash was missing. The man was treated and released from hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect is described as a male possibly wearing a white jacket. The investigation is on-going.
