A woman died of her injuries after being stabbed Wednesday evening in the residential Chomedey district of Laval.
The victim was attacked with a knife around 7:35 p.m., according to the Laval Police Service (SPL). The police undertook resuscitation maneuvers when they arrived on the scene, but noted his death shortly after, said Lieutenant Laurent Arseneault of the SPL.
A 20-year-old man was arrested near the scene “thanks to the help of citizens,” the lieutenant added. The young man was encountered by the police.
The event took place in the wooded Armand-Frappier, in the heart of the peaceful residential area of Chomedey. “It’s a wooded area with hiking trails, people come here to walk or walk their dogs,” said Laurent Arseneault.
