The victim is 38 years old and in stable condition, according to police.

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.
