A fight between two groups of people in a gas station parking lot became violent just after midnight.
A first victim was discovered in a parking lot of a gas station on de la Montagne St. and Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montreal, near the Bell Centre.
The 20-year-old man had severe injuries to his head.
Shortly afterwards, police said, a second man in his 20's came to police with stab wounds to the upper body. Two other victims went to a local police precinct, also with stab wounds.
A 22-year-old man was stabbed in the neck, and a 27-year-old stabbed in the back.
The latter was stabilized in hospital, and police believe he will survive his injuries. Everyone else is in stable condition, they said.
According to witnesses, a conflict erupted between two groups in the parking lot, and eventually degenerated.
Police will be meeting with those involved to try and determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
