The woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.

In a Wednesday release, police said that HRP investigators identified the suspect and “were actively seeking him.” They say they arrested 41-year-old Jordan Anthony White on Tuesday night, after a vehicle stop in Cole Harbour.

White was set to appear in court Wednesday to face charges of attempted murder and robbery. He is also facing assault and weapons-related charges.

According to police, the man was also charged with theft in a separate incident that happened at an NSLC store on Chain Lake Drive in Halifax, on Jan. 11.
