Police have been frustrated by an uncooperative victim, who was possibly shot in the head around midnight last night near Plamondon and Legare in the heart of Cote des Neiges.

The man, who suffered a minor injury in the incident, is known to police and refusing to cooperate with investigators, police representative Simon Delorme told CTV Montreal.

Police were unable to confirm the hypothesis that the man's injury was the result of being hit by a projectile.

A Montreal police canine unit was recruited to help investigate the scene.
