Two victims out of danger after Saint-Leonard stabbing; son arrested
Police arrested the couple’s 26-year-old son as investigators examined the scene and tried to determine what led to the stabbing.
Early Saturday, a 68-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman suffered critical stab wounds to the upper body inside an apartment on Viau Boulevard, near Jean-Rivard Street in Montreal's Saint-Leonard borough.
Montreal Police officers responded to a 5:20 a.m. call and arrested the victims' 26-year-old son near the scene, according to Statement 2 and Statement 5 evidence.
Both victims were transported to the hospital in critical condition, though SPVM spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant confirmed their lives are no longer in danger.
Viau Boulevard remains closed southbound between Jean-Rivard and Jarry streets as investigators analyze the crime scene to determine the circumstances of the stabbing.
The suspect was taken to a detention center and is expected to meet with Montreal Police investigators in the coming hours to determine his involvement in the incident.
