A man was hospitalized Tuesday night after another man jumped on his head multiple times during a fight near Gottingen and Cornwallis streets, according to Halifax police.

Police say a 34-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries they described as serious but not life threatening.

The suspect left the area, but was later arrested.

A 29-year-old man faces charges of assault causing bodily harm and aggravated assault.

He'll appear in Halifax provincial court on Wednesday.
