An art teacher at a school in the Montreal neighbourhood of St-Michel was stabbed by a student on Thursday morning, police say. Officials arrested the suspect not far from the school.
The teacher, a man in his 40s, suffered minor injuries to the upper body after being cut with a "sharp object" in an attack a Montreal police spokesperson called a "stabbing."
He received lacerations to his side, police said, and has been transported to hospital. His life is not in danger.
Police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant wasn't able to describe in detail what kind of weapon was used, but said it was "maybe a knife" and that it was recovered on the scene.
The incident took place at 10:10 a.m. inside the John F. Kennedy High School, near the St-Michel metro station. It's next to an adult education centre of the same name.
