A young man was stabbed and injured in an altercation early Friday morning in Montreal's Saint-Laurent borough.

The 24-year-old man was transported to hospital. By midnight, authorities no longer feared for his life.

The event was reported to Montreal police (SPVM) at approximately 1:00 a.m. through a 911 call.

Police say the young man was attending a family party at a residence located on O'Brien Avenue, near the intersection of Côte-Vertu Boulevard. He left the scene and returned a little later with an upper-body injury.

Police have yet to determine the circumstances of the stabbing. 

The SPVM set up a perimeter to allow its investigators and forensic identification technicians to clear the situation up. No arrests have been made.
