Man stabbed in Lachine, in critical condition
A 30-year-old man has been stabbed in the Lachine borough and is in critical condition, Montreal Police (SPVM) say.
SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chevrefils said that at around 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, a 911 call came in reporting a person injured with a sharp object in an apartment complex on Camille Street near Richmond.
When police arrived on the scene, they located the victim, who was conscious and injured to the upper body. The man was transported to the hospital.
Two women who live in the building and did not want to give their names say they are scared. They added that they hear people fighting and screaming every week, not just inside the apartment complex.
In July, a man was shot on the same street, and there have been several recent fatal incidents in Lachine, including a 27-year-old man shot in broad daylight on a basketball court.
Residents told CTV News that something needs to be done to make the borough and Camille Street safer. Some said they want to move but cannot afford it.
