A 23-year-old man was attacked with a blunt object in Hochelaga around 1 a.m. on Sunday.
The victim was injured in the head by an unidentified object. The man was transported to a hospital and his life would not be in danger according to Véronique Comtois, public relations officer for the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
Around 1 a.m., the SPVM received a call reporting a potential assault with a stabbing weapon on rue Ontario, near rue Viau.
“We are not talking about being stabbed in the head as in the appeal,” corrected the publicist, adding that the object used had not been identified. The 23-year-old man, however, would have “a small injury by a sharp object in the arm”, she added.
Investigators had to go to the scene to determine what happened.
