A 20-year-old man is facing charges after an alleged assault outside a restaurant in downtown Halifax.

Halifax Regional Police says its officers responded to a disturbance outside the Economy Shoe Shop on Argyle Street around 11:45 p.m. Saturday.

A man was removed from the restaurant “due to his state of intoxication,” according to a Monday afternoon news release from police.

The man then allegedly assaulted one of the restaurant’s staff members outside the restaurant.

The victim reportedly hit their head on a metal post and they were taken to hospital for serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.

The accused is scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court at a later date where he will face one count of assault causing bodily harm.
