Montreal police say two men were taken to hospital Thursday afternoon after they inflicted injuries on each other possibly using sharp objects.

Montreal police spokesperson Raphaël Bergeron said two men around the age of 30 started arguing inside a business on Albert-Hudon Boulevard in Montreal North just before 4 p.m.

According to Bergeron the pair left the business and the altercation became physical.

Both men were taken to hospital, with one having suffered more serious injuries than the other.
