When emergency services arrived, “a man in his 30s was found on the ground with serious injuries.

The victim, known to police, was taken to the hospital, where he is in critical condition.
“The nature and circumstances of this attack remains to be clarified … No arrests have been made to date. The link between the victim and the attackers remains to be established,” said Boucher.
Grande Allée Boulevard has been closed to traffic in this area for an indefinite period.
