Police say they responded to a 911 call about a drug-related altercation which broke out at around 3 p.m.

A 34-year-old man was taken to hospital for a serious but non-life-threatening wound to his forearm.

The victim is known to police through drug-related charges. The victim is not co-operating with the investigation, according to Montreal police spokesperson Benoit Boiselle.

Boiselle says police continue to question witnesses for more information. The scene of the crime will remain closed off until the investigation is complete.

No arrests have been made, and police say the suspects are still at large.
