According to Montreal police (SPVM), gunfire rang out around 7 p.m. during an altercation involving a group of 10 people on the station's upper floor, near the fare booth.

The victim reportedly fled the station and took refuge in a local business near the Alexis Nihon shopping centre. He was then transported to hospital with serious upper-body injuries, but authorities do not fear for his life.

No other injuries were reported.

The suspects fled the scene before officers arrived.
