Montreal police are hoping to identify and locate several individuals in connection with an armed assault in a Plateau-Mont-Royal restaurant one week ago.
Police say a group had gathered in the basement of a St-Denis Street restaurant on April 12 to celebrate the first year in office of French President Emmanuel Macron.
At 6:40 p.m. around 10 individuals, wearing scarves and balaclavas to obscure their faces, entered the restaurant and made their way downstairs chanting “Happy birthday Macron,” in French.

According to police, a client who was trying to take photos of the disruption suffered a head injury after a chair was thrown at them.
