In response to the brutal attack by a 16-year-old teenager on the grounds of a Montreal-North secondary school, the Montreal Police Service (SPVM) said Tuesday it had taken “several measures” to reassure the students at the facility and the population of the sector.

“A social-municipal officer is on site [mardi] with colleagues to support students, parents and staff,” Montreal Police said in a press release.
Recall that on Monday afternoon after school at the Calixa Lavallée school, a teenager was violently attacked by at least four young men armed with hammers.
The suspects, who are believed not to be students at the school, ran away and still had not been pinned nearly 24 hours after the events.
The teenager was taken to hospital to be treated for his serious injuries. At one point, the doctors even feared for his life. He would now be out of danger.
In addition to investigators continuing their work to find the attackers, several socio-community agents, community development consultants and other local stakeholders have been deployed to reassure the sector’s population.
The SPVM invites anyone with information about this violent attack to contact Info-Crime at 514.393-1133 or 911.
