According to Halifax Regional Police spokesperson Const. John MacLeod, police responded to a report of an “unwanted person” at 5287 Prince St., around 2:35 that morning. The incident turned out to be at the Halifax Alehouse, located next door.

“The man reported that he had been assaulted by staff members.”
Levy and Day, both Alehouse staff, each face one count of assault. The allegations have not been proven in court and the pair are scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court on Jan. 23 for election and/or pleas.
