She added that arrests had been made, but was unable to specify how many people were apprehended as the event was still unfolding.

Investigators were being dispatched to the scene.

Wednesday’s incident comes only a day after an Amber Alert was issued in Montreal following the alleged kidnapping of a 16-year-old girl in Kirkland.

In that case, three men appeared in court on Wednesday and were charged with several offences including one count each of kidnapping and unlawful confinement.
