A first 17-year-old teenager stabbed in the upper body in the middle of the night was still lying between life and death on Saturday evening.
Around 4 a.m. Saturday morning, a call was made for a man with a stab wound on rue Gervais, near boulevard Industriel, in the borough of Montreal-Nord.
The victim, a 17-year-old boy, was found injured in the upper body by police officers from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
He was immediately transported to a hospital, where his condition remained critical until late Saturday evening, said Raphaël Bergeron, spokesperson for the SPVM.
According to initial information, an altercation would have degenerated and the minor would have received at least one stab wound.
The victim was not known to the police.
Crush in the street
In the early morning, witnesses to the event shouted in the street and panicked, creating a crowd when the police arrived, can we see in a video obtained by TVA Nouvelles.
“It’s sad because it really wasn’t like that before,” sighed Richard Grenier, who spent his life in Montreal North.
In recent weeks, many violent events have taken place in the borough, to the point where he is now thinking of moving.
“We don’t sleep much in the sector, it’s stupid, it doesn’t make sense, it’s returned to normality, he breathed. Hearing the firefighters and the ambulances, it’s normalcy. »
According to research by Journalit would be at least the sixth teenager stabbed since the beginning of the year in Montreal.

In a second nebulous case, a 16-year-old teenager was taken to hospital on Saturday around 7 p.m. after collapsing on rue Biret in the borough of Saint-Laurent.
The young man had a major pelvic wound, possibly from a gunshot wound, but no gunshots had been reported to police at the time of going to press.
The teenager had just been taken out of a vehicle by two other individuals, who left the scene. He was trying to walk when he collapsed in front of witnesses, who immediately dialed 911.
“The young man said he did not know what happened and where it happened. He was not really cooperating at the time of his transport, but he is not known to police circles, ”said agent Bergeron.
He would have suffered serious injuries, given the significant loss of blood.
