The victim was treated in hospital and released, and the police say the suspect fled the scene before they arrived.
The investigation led officers to seek Zachariah Russell, of Bathurst. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest on charges of aggravated assault, two counts of uttering threats and mischief.
