In an unfortunate incident this Friday morning, a 43-year-old man was injured in a stabbing at a metro station in the Ville-Marie borough, as confirmed by Montreal police.
The incident unfolded at the Place des arts metro station, prompting 911 calls to the Montreal Police (SPVM) at approximately 9:25 a.m. Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered the victim with stab wounds on his upper body. The man was promptly transported to the hospital with wounds that were deemed non-life threatening.
SPVM spokesperson Jeanne Drouin stated, “According to preliminary information, the victim was involved in an altercation with several suspects at the Saint-Laurent metro station.”
