By The Canadian Press on March 9, 2024.
Montreal police say two men sustained non-life-threatening injuries after separate stabbings just past 1 a.m. this morning. Police spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier says a 20-year-old man was struck several times with a knife on an arm and hand after an apparent cellphone theft outside the city’s Langelier metro station roughly eight kilometres east of downtown. Police arrested two 19-year-old men in connection with the stabbing, and Gauthier says investigators are reviewing nearby surveillance camera footage. The second incident involved a 29-year-old man who the police spokesperson says was stabbed in his lower body after exiting a building downtown. Gauthier says the man exhibited heavy bleeding when first responders found him and brought him to a local hospital, but medical authorities later confirmed his life is not in danger. There have been no arrests in connection with the second attack and a police investigation is ongoing. This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 9, 2024. 8-7
