A second man has been injured after being swarmed by a group of teenagers in Dartmouth, say Halifax Regional Police.

A man in his 30s was in the area of Victoria Road and Nantucket Avenue between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Friday when he was approached by a group of youths who asked if he had money, cigarettes, or marijuana, say police.

When he said he didn't, police say he was assaulted and stabbed with a knife. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The man reported the incident to police two days later and said the suspects included several boys and one girl, all between 13 and 16 years old.

This is the second stabbing and swarming involving a group of teenagers in Dartmouth in less than a week. A 40-year-old man was stabbed in the abdomen on June 18 in the area of Thistle Street and Wyse Road.

Five teenagers were charged in that case.

Police said the attacks don't involve the same group of teenagers. The suspects in the earlier attack were already in custody at the time of the second attack, said police.

​Police said the victim in the latest case doesn't want the police involved any further. Halifax Regional Police would not say why the man wanted less involvement from law enforcement.

Any one with information about the stabbing is asked to call the Halifax Regional Police at 902-490-5016 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
