A 22-year-old man was stabbed in the Montreal borough of Verdun overnight from Thursday to Friday.
Calls to 911 alerted the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) to a man who was stabbed inside a dwelling on rue Evelyn, near rue Regina.
When the police arrived on the scene, they located the victim with stab wounds to the upper body.
The victim was transported to a hospital in a conscious state for treatment of injuries that are not life-threatening, according to medical authorities.
A 24-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene and was to be met by investigators, said Julien Lévesque, spokesperson for the SPVM.
According to preliminary information, a conflict between the suspect and his victim is at the origin of this armed attack.
A security perimeter was erected to allow investigators assisted by forensic identification technicians to analyze the scene and meet any witnesses.
