A 57-year-old man who barricaded himself inside an apartment after allegedly stabbing a woman in Montreal’s Sud-Ouest borough Saturday morning, surrenders to police.
According to Montreal police (SPVM), a 911 call around 9 a.m. reporting that a woman was injured in an apartment on Elgin Terrace, near St-Martin Street.
Upon arrival, officers found a 44-year-old woman with stabbing wounds to her upper body. She was taken to hospital in critical condition, but has since been declared to be out of danger.
According to initial information, the woman was allegedly stabbed by the suspect with a sharp object after a conflict between them escalated, said SPVM spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant.
“Following the stabbing, the woman went and took refuge at a neighbour’s (home), where she was met by officers,” Brabant added.
The man had barricaded himself inside the apartment leading to a police operation in which some neighbours had to be evacuated temporarily.
After a standoff, the suspect was arrested and taken to a detention centre. He will be met with investigators later Saturday.
