A 15-year-old girl was taken to hospital for treatment of what has been described as non-life-threatening injuries after a fight at Bayers Lake Friday night.

Halifax Regional Police say they were called to the scene in the 200 block of Chain Lake Drive at 7:47 p.m. to find a teen inside a business at the popular shopping area suffering from what appeared to be a stab wound.  A short time later, officers arrested a second 15-year-old girl in connection with the incident.  Police say the two teens knew one another and are not looking for any other suspected in relation to the incident.

The suspect is facing charges of Assault with a Weapon, Assault Causing Bodily Harm and Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose and will appear in Halifax court later.
