According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police of Nova Scotia, the incident started from an argument between two men in a driveway. One of the suspects drove into the driveway of another man and there the argument started. Later in a few minutes, a vehicle arrived with three men inside and one holding a pipe.

According to the police, a victim is a 69-year-old man who lived near the area. He heard the commotion outside and yelled at the four men to stop and told them to leave the area. The suspects then came towards the man. Two men held him and the other men beat him with their fist and used the pipe in beating him. The old man fell to the ground unconscious.
