HALIFAX -- Police are looking for witnesses after a driver who crashed into a home was later assaulted in Digby, N.S.
The RCMP received a complaint at 2:40 p.m. Saturday that a vehicle had crashed into a home on Birch Street and then fled the scene.
While officers were responding to the scene, they received a report that three men were smashing the windows of a vehicle near a restaurant in Digby, and were trying to remove the driver from the vehicle.
