Another homecoming party in Halifax led to chaos, arrests, injuries and a clash with police.
The police called it a large disturbance related to unsanctioned Dalhousie Homecoming events.
It was another massive party with up to 4,000 people in the areas of Larch, Preston and Jennings Streets.
Partygoers could be seen climbing power poles and trees while fireworks were being set off in the crowds.
Police say fights were breaking out within the large crowd and they attempted to break up the crowd but were not successful.
“A fire was set in the street using downed branches from the storm in an attempt to prevent officers from dispersing the crowd. Officers were required to put the fire out as Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency could not get in due to safety concerns.” – Halifax Regional Police
Police say officers had to bring a number of injured people out of the area, including a man who suffered injuries as a result of being stabbed.
A number of arrests were made but it’s not clear how many, and dozens of summary offence tickets were issued.
