Neither man injured, one taken into custody.

Halifax Police say that after Sunday evenings fireworks in the Halifax Common, a fight broke out between two males, with one man pulling out a knife.

The accused male with the knife got into an altercation with another male and there was a brief struggle.

Neither man received any stab wounds, but did suffer minor injuries.

The accused attempted to flee on foot, but was arrested by police without incident.

Halifax Police say that the two men are known to one another.

As a result, a 39 year old man is being held in custody until a court appearance on Tuesday; he is facing charges of assault with a weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon.
