A 21-year-old man was rushed to hospital in serious condition after he was stabbed Tuesday during a fight with three other people in Saint-Leonard.

Montreal police received several 911 calls just before 5 p.m. Tuesday about the altercation at the corner of Viau Blvd. and Terbois St.

The man was conscious when he was taken to hospital after having been stabbed several times in the upper body.

On Wednesday morning authorities said he was in stable condition and should survive. Police hope to talk to the victim later in the day.

The suspects fled the scene in a car.
