A man lay in critical condition on Friday after being stabbed by his son at a residence in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal.
It was around 5:25 a.m. that police officers from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) received a call about an injured man in a residence on Côte-Vertu Boulevard near Cardinal Street.
Once there, the police found that a 62-year-old man had been stabbed. The latter was transported to the hospital where he is in critical condition, said agent Gabriella Youakim, spokesperson for the SPVM.
The suspect, a 21-year-old man, was arrested at the scene.
“According to initial information, a conflict would have broken out between a son and his father,” said agent Youakim.
A scene has been erected and the police are investigating to understand the circumstances surrounding this event.
