In an emailed statement to Global News, Halifax Regional Police (HRP) confirmed that they and Halifax Fire responded at about 2:45 p.m. to a report that a man had gone overboard on a Halifax Transit Ferry near the Alderney Drive Ferry Terminal in Dartmouth.

“The investigation is in the early stages, but I can tell you that at this time the man has been taken to hospital for what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries,” said Const. John MacLeod, HRP’s public information officer.

He added that officers are still investigating how the man ended up in the harbour.

In a social media post shortly after the incident was said to have occurred, Halifax Transit mentioned that several ferry crossings were cancelled due to an “ongoing situation.”

“A shuttle will be provided,” the update read.
