GOFFS: A 44-year-old Glace Bay man is facing charges of assault with a weapon and dangerous driving after he allegedly drove towards a Halifax Regional Police officer who had to jump out of the way narrowly avoiding being hit.
In a release, Halifax District RCMP say that at 12:55 a.m. on Aug. 30, police were called to assist HRP with an erratic driver on Bell Blvd. at Halifax Stanfield Airport
“An HRP officer was attempting to approach a suspicious parked vehicle when it fled at a high rate of speed,” said the release. “The vehicle then returned and drove directly toward the officer who was standing in a well-lit crosswalk signalling the driver to stop.
“The officer jumped out of the way to avoid the vehicle and was not injured.”

Police say the driver then parked nearby and police apprehended and arrested him without further incident.
A Roadside Screening Device was administered as the driver showed signs of impairment. The test resulted in a warning and the driver was issued a 15-day driving suspension.
Wade Christopher MacSween was remanded and appeared in Dartmouth Provincial Court on September 1. He has been charged with Assaulting a Peace Officer with a Weapon; two counts of Dangerous Driving; and two counts of Failing to Comply with a Court Order.
He was remanded and will be back in court today, Sept. 2.
