Halifax Regional Police are asking the public to help identify a suspect involved in an assault with a weapon in a drive-thru last week.
In a release, police said officers responded to a report of an assault in progress at the McDonald’s drive-thru at 331 Herring Cove Rd. around 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 8.
A one-second-long video shared by police shows the suspect approaching a black vehicle from behind on the driver’s side.
The release said the suspect approached a man who was inside the vehicle at the time and struck him with “what was described as a metal object” before fleeing the area in a vehicle.
