HALIFAX - Charges have been laid against a man arrested after police recovered a firearm on a Halifax public bus Thursday.
The arrest came hours after police received a report of someone walking along a downtown street with what appeared to be a rifle wrapped in black fabric.
Police say the 25-year-old man faces multiple charges, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and carrying a concealed weapon.
They say he is due in provincial court Friday.
Police say they continue to investigate whether the firearm on the bus is related to the initial sighting of a man concealing a weapon.
They say there were no threats made to anyone and no shots were fired.
