A 20-year-old man is recovering in hospital after he was stabbed in the upper body early Saturday morning.
Montreal Police spokesperson Andrée-Anne Picard said it happened at around 2:30 a.m. after two men inside a bar on Cherrier Street, in Île-Bizard, got into an argument.
The men left the bar and the argument continued outside where the 20-year-old was stabbed.
