An employee of the Ultramar gas station at Côte Vertu and Marcel-Laurin was stabbed by an assailant last week the SPVM reports.

The SPVM says the assailant, for unknown reasons, climbed over the counter and stabbed the employee several times in the upper body. The suspect then fled the scene. No arrest has been made. SPVM spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier told The Suburban Thursday that the victim is out of danger.

The area around Marcel-Laurin, Côte Vertu and nearby Thimens has been the scene of several crimes in recent years, particularly arson attacks on restaurants. Those attacks and others prompted the creation of a new police unit to look into instances of arson linked to extortion.
