A 42-year-old man faces a list of charges after allegedly attacking another man with a hammer in north-end Dartmouth Sunday night.

Police say a 62-year old-victim was attacked inside an apartment on Primrose Street.

He was taken to hospital but has since been released.

Police say this was not a random act.

The suspect is facing charges of break and enter, assault and breach of court-ordered conditions.

He's set to appear in Dartmouth provincial court Monday morning.
