A man has been charged with a sexual assault Tuesday afternoon.
Halifax Regional Police were called to the area of the Belchers Marsh Park trails just before 1:30 p.m.
They were told a woman was walking on the trail when a man she didn't know touched her in a sexual manner.
Responding officers arrested a suspect nearby.
A 33-year-old man will appear in Halifax Provincial Court at a later date.
