Police are turning to the public to help find a man who allegedly left his vehicle and assaulted a pedestrian in downtown Halifax last month.

Halifax Regional Police say the incident happened on Aug. 26 around 3 a.m. at the corner of Barrington and Blowers streets.

The victim told officers he and a woman were walking through an intersection when they saw a vehicle that may hit them.
