A man was beaten and mugged on the Halifax waterfront last night.
Halifax Regional Police say the man was near the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on Lower Water Street around 9 p.m. when he was approached by three men who started to rough him up and threaten him.
They took his cash and were going after his cell phone when a passer-by yelled at them and they ran off.
The victim was treated for minor injuries at the QEII Hospital and released.
He was only able to give police a limited description of the men.
Const. Pierre Bourdages tells News 95.7, the robbery took place in a busy area.
“It’s not something that we see everyday in this area. It is of concern, obviously robberies are always of concern, but it’s something we are hoping someone will have information on as to what exactly transpired there,” said Bourdages.
