Montreal police (SPVM) are investigating after a 44-year-old man was stabbed late on Friday in the city’s Southwest borough.

SPVM spokesperson Veronique Dubuc said the incident occurred around 11:40 p.m. at a homeless encampment with about a dozen tents on Notre-Dame West. The victim however was found on St-Rémi Street near Cazelais Street.

“We got several calls reporting that a man had been stabbed. When police arrived on the scene, the victim was conscious and had sustained serious injuries to the upper body,” Dubuc said.
