Police say the woman had been physically assaulted by a man who was not known to her — she was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect attempted to take off, but witnesses in the area prevented him from leaving until police arrived. The man was identified as Dillon Hunter.
Hunter was taken into custody without incident and is scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court Tuesday to face charges of aggravated assault, breach of a probation order and breach of an undertaking.
