An 18-year-old young man was reportedly attacked by several armed individuals at the Collège de Maisonneuve in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighborhood of Montreal on Monday afternoon.
The events took place around 3pm within the walls of the school on Sherbrooke Street East near Nicolet Street.
According to our information, the victim was surrounded by a group of people in a computer room before being brutally attacked.
“We know that a weapon was used, but we don’t yet know exactly what type of weapon it was,” said Sébastien Coulombe, spokesman for Urgences santé.
On the SPVM side, we speak of an attack using an “unknown object”.
Wounded in the upper body, the victim managed to flee his attackers and took refuge in the college infirmary, two floors below.
The young man was taken to the hospital for treatment of serious upper body injuries. He is said to be in serious but stable condition. We would not fear for his life.
By the end of the afternoon, no arrest had been made in this case and the reason for the attack was unknown.
The management of the Collège de Maisonneuve would not have considered it appropriate to inform the students about the attack that had just taken place and the courses continued as normal, denounced some students who had met on site.
