Montreal Police are investigating after a 37-year-old man was stabbed in Martin Luther King Park in Côte-des-Neiges.

Police responded to reports of a stabbing last Wednesday afternoon and found the man with injuries to his upper body. They arrested a 62-year-old woman at the scene, and early reports suggest the stabbing occurred during a conflict between the two, who know each other.

There have been numerous reports of incivility in and around Martin Luther King Park over the last few years, as the park is home to many homeless people who congregate around the chalet. There is also a day shelter across the street that served as a night warming shelter last winter, and was subject to many disturbances, including fights outdoors as well as inside, and harassment of neighbours by people who reportedly congregate in the area. n
