A 42-year-old man was allegedly stabbed multiple times by a youth on Sunday.

Halifax RCMP says the man suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

RCMP responded to a weapons complaint on Prospect Bay Road at about 9:10 a.m. and learned the man was stabbed on the way to the scene, according to a news release.

When officers arrived, they found the man outside of a residence. Police say he was stabbed multiple times after a “verbal argument” with a male youth he knew.

The youth voluntarily came out of the residence and police arrested him, the release says.

The youth faces charges of:

• attempted murder
• aggravated assault
• possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
• assault with a weapon
• uttering threats

Police held the youth in custody. He will appear in court today.
