(Montreal) A man’s life is in danger in a Montreal hospital after he was involved in an altercation with other people early Monday night in the northeast of the city.
A few hours after the confrontation, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) had not yet reported an arrest.
The police were informed around 12:30 a.m. by a call to the 911 emergency telephone exchange that a man had just been seen injured on Langelier Boulevard, near the intersection of Villeneuve Street, in a residential sector of the borough of Montreal North.
When they arrived at the scene, the police found the 47-year-old man conscious, but in poor condition. They arranged for him to be transported to the hospital.
Witnesses were able to be met. They are the ones who told the police that a few other people had been involved in the altercation.
It is not known if the people on the run and the injured person know each other.
A security perimeter has been erected. Investigators, forensic identification technicians and members of the SPVM canine squad were to examine the crime scene later Monday.
