HALIFAX – Halifax RCMP have charged a 21-year-old man with making racist threats toward a youth.

Police say they responded to a report that a man had threatened and followed someone under the age of 18 on the evening of Sept. 16 in Middle Sackville.

Mounties say the youth was a passenger in a parked car when the 21-year-old man approached and attempted to remove the youth from a car.

Police say that when the youth left in the vehicle, the man followed the car, driving dangerously.

Investigators say the man continued to threaten the youth during a cellphone call.

Officers determined the man’s actions were motivated by racism. 

The accused is facing three counts of uttering threats, dangerous driving and criminal harassment. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 22, 2026.
