A man was arrested early Sunday morning after a teenager was stabbed in an altercation in Montreal's NDG neighbourhood.

A 911 call at around 3 a.m. prompted officers to go to the corner of Sherbrooke Street West and Northcliffe Avenue where they found a 19-year-old man with upper body injuries made by a sharp object, according to Montreal police (SPVM).

Witnesses told police that a conflict degenerated into an assault between one victim and a suspect, who fled the scene.

The victim was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A 29-year-man was arrested in a nearby apartment later in the morning and also had upper body injuries.

He was transported to the hospital and will meet with investigators.
