SHEET HARBOUR, N.S. -- Halifax District RCMP have arrested three people after an assault in Sheet Harbour on Saturday night.
Police say the assault occurred on Albert Howe Lane and when they arrived, the suspects had already fled.
"A preliminary investigation determined that the victim received a phone call to meet with individuals known to him," the RCMP said in a news release. "He drove to a business on Church Point Road and then walked to a home on Albert Howe Lane where he was allegedly assaulted with various weapons."
The victim, who suffered non-life threatening injuries, was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital.
