Roughly 30 minutes later, an officer located and arrested a suspect in the 0-50 block of Willow Road.
Officers say no one was injured in the incident and have since confirmed that the two men did not know each other.
However, police say it is not considered to be a random act and is believed to have occurred due to a driving complaint.
A 39-year-old man from Halifax is now facing charges of assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats and mischief.
