A young man was stabbed on the night of Friday to Saturday after three individuals entered his home in Montmagny, in Chaudière-Appalaches.
Around 12:30 a.m., three hooded suspects reportedly broke into a residence on Route 283, in Montmagny. According to the spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), agent Nicolas Scholtus, people “known to police circles” were in the residence at the time of the invasion.
“The suspects threatened people at the scene. They allegedly assaulted an 18-year-old young man with a blunt object before fleeing,” he said.
Some suspects reportedly fled with the ATV of one of the residents, while others fled in a suspicious vehicle.
The young man was seriously injured in the attack and was taken to hospital, but there are no fears for his life.
On Saturday morning, police intercepted persons of interest in the suspect vehicle. These people as well as witnesses to the event will be met during the day by SQ investigators.
A forensic identification team is also on site.
