A 27-year-old man has died following an overnight stabbing on Saturday in Montreal’s Sud-Ouest borough, authorities have confirmed.
Montreal police (SPVM) say a 911 call was placed at 4:50 a.m. for an altercation in an apartment building on St. Antoine Street West near the Rose-de-Lima Street intersection in the St. Henri neighbourhood.
SPVM spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier told Global when officers arrived at the scene they found the victim in an apartment unit with stab wounds to his upper body.
