The Halifax Regional Police are looking for a man who assaulted a teenage lifeguard at the newly opened Halifax Commons Aquatic Facility last month.

They say the incident happened on July 8, at around 7 p.m., when the 15-year-old lifeguard approached the man in relation to pool policies. They say the man responded by assaulting the teenager. He fled the scene in a black four-door Honda Civic before officers arrived.

Police describe the suspect as a Black man in his 40’s, approximately 250 lbs., with tattoos on both arms, a short beard, and long black hair that was tied back.
