Police are investigating after a 15-year old was stabbed Thursday afternoon near École secondaire Louis-Riel, a high school located in the Montreal borough of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

Montreal police spokesperson Mariane Allaire Morin said officers were called to the intersection of Rosemont Boulevard and De Carignan Avenue at around 3:20 p.m. to reports of an injured person.

Police believe a conflict between two youths escalated with the victim suffering injuries to the upper body caused by a sharp object.

Allaire Morin said the teen’s status was listed as stable Thursday evening.

“We don’t fear for his life,” she said.
