A man in his 50s has been arrested and faces charges of attempted murder following a fire late Sunday night on Montreal’s north shore.
Laval police say they were called around 9 p.m. to the apartment building on 62nd Avenue near Cartier Boulevard concerning a reported domestic dispute between a couple.
When officers arrived at the scene, police say a fire was also underway in the building. Police are investigating whether the fire was deliberately set but could not confirm if the two incidents are related.
The man and a woman in her 20s were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They are in a relationship, according to police.

Investigators remain at the scene.
