A 23-year-old man was stabbed Tuesday afternoon at a McDonal'ds restaurant in Old Montreal.

Three men attacked the victim at 3 p.m. and fled on foot, said Montreal police Const. Yannick Ouimet.

The stabbing took place at the restaurant at the corner of Notre Dame St. and St. Laurent Blvd.

The victim suffered severe injuries, but is expected to live.

"It's too early to determine what happened… or what's the motive of the altercation," said Ouimet.

There are no suspects so far.
