Police say three young people have been arrested after a 16-year-old boy was stabbed near a Pointe-Claire high school and sent to hospital in critical condition. A second teen, age 15, also ended up hospital with stab wounds.
In an update several hours later, at almost 11 p.m., Montreal police said a second boy had also arrived in hospital with stab wounds and they believe his injuries are connected to the same altercation.
Police say a dispute between two groups of people at about 2:40 pm led to the first boy's stabbing on Broadview Avenue near John Fisher Avenue in Pointe-Claire.
“According to the first information that we received, it was an altercation between two groups and while the altercation was ongoing, the victim was injured in the upper body by a sharp object," said Montreal police spokesperson Veronique Comtois.
A driver passing by saw the victim and picked him up to help him, but first responders then arrived and rushed him to the hospital.
