A 53-year-old man is in hospital after being stabbed during a conflict near the Plamondon metro station in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood Sunday night.
The incident follows three other armed assaults in less than 24 hours in downtown Montreal over the weekend.
“At the moment, the Montreal police (SPVM) does not believe that these four cases are linked,” said SPVM spokesperson Florence Stafford, in an interview with CityNews.
SPVM received a 911 call around 10:40 p.m. reporting a man was stabbed near the intersection of Van Horne and Victoria avenues.
When the police officers arrived, they found an 53-year-old man with injuries to his upper body and conscious.
He was taken to hospital and his life is not considered to be in danger.
“According to the initial information, it was possibly a conflict that would have escalated between the victim and a suspect,” SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils.
The suspect a 47-year-old man reportedly fled the scene, but was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. He was expected to appear in court Monday.
A security perimeter was established for investigators to analyze the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
