Police shut down a downtown Halifax bar early Sunday morning after a man was stabbed, and they’re searching for a suspect.
They were called to the Toothy Moose at 1 a.m., according to a department news release, about a man bleeding outside of the Argyle Street bar.
The victim is 38 years old and in stable condition, according to police.
“Officers confirmed the injured male was stabbed inside the bar by an unknown male. Officers arrested a male inside that is believed to be involved in the incident,” the news release read.
The bar was shut down to be processed by the department’s forensic team.
A trail of red stains was visible leading from the entrance of the bar to the sidewalk in front of the Halifax Convention Centre across the street where an area was closed off with caution tape. Police cleared the scene at about 10:15 a.m.
Police want anyone with information regarding what happened to contact them or Crime Stoppers.
