Chelsey St. Pierre – The Suburban LJI Reporter

A 43-year-old man was the victim of a violent assault in an apartment in Lachine. The scene of the assault was on Louis-Paré Street, near 30th Avenue. Police at the scene had the victim transported to hospital by ambulance. He is in critical condition.

According to authorities, the victim suffered multiple wounds caused by a sharp object and is currently recovering in hospital. SPVM spokesperson Carolyne Chevrefils said police officers questioned a 31-year old woman who accompanied them to the police station voluntarily. She was not under arrest at that point.

Following further police questioning, the woman was charged and arraigned in court Wednesday. “The circumstances surrounding the event were not clear at the moment when the woman was initially transported to the investigation centre,” Chevrefils told The Suburban.

According to Chevrefils, the stabbing victim is also expected to be questioned as soon as his health allows.

The apartment has been sealed off while the investigation continues. Authorities have not confirmed what the connection is between the man and the women allegedly involved in the incident.
