According to Montreal police spokesperson Daniel Lacoursière, the incident began at around 5 p.m. during rush-hour traffic, when two men got out of a vehicle and approached a 27-year-old woman’s car.

“There was an exchange between the victim and the two individuals,” Lacoursière said. “It seems like one of the two men had a knife.”

After the altercation, the pair returned to their vehicle and drove off.

The victim followed the duo to a residence on Tellier Street, near Baldwin Street,  in Montreal’s Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. She notified police while following the vehicle.

When officers arrived at the scene, they arrested a 21-year-old man. But a 28-year-old man refused to leave the residence.
