Police are looking for the driver of an older model grey Honda Civic with rust on the rear wheel wells

Halifax Regional Police are looking for the driver of an older model grey Honda Civic after a person working traffic control near a construction site in the west end was cut with a knife.

The traffic control employee was working near the intersection of St. Andrews and Chisholm avenues, in the neighbourhood west of Connaught and north of Bayers Road.

At around 1:30 a.m., the employee went up to the vehicle and told the driver, because of the construction, he wouldn't be able to turn.

An argument followed and police say the driver got out of the vehicle and cut the employee's arm with a knife before driving off.

The traffic control person was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect is described as a man in his mid-20s, around 5'9" with a thin build. His black hair is in a crewcut and he is clean shaven. The Honda Civic has rust on the rear wheel wells.

There was a male in the passenger seat at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 902-490-5020, or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
