LONGUEUIL, QUE. -- After a woman was injured following an argument with a man on Montreal's South Shore, a man has been arrested.

Longueuil police (SPAL) were called to Conefroy Street around 9:30 a.m. following a 911 call.

She was later released from the hospital.

The police did not give information on the nature of the injuries.

The woman has not been interviewed by investigators at this time.

"At this time, we do not have information on what use of force was used or if there were objects used in the offence that was committed," said SPAL spokesperson Jean-Pierre Voutsinos.

Police confirmed that a 31-year-old man was arrested in his home after he took refuge, while police tried to make contact with him.
