A Saint-Laurent gas station employee is in hospital after being stabbed early Wednesday morning.
Montreal police (SPVM) received a 911 call around 4 a.m. about the assault at an Ultramar on Marcel-Laurin Blvd., near Côte-Vertu.
According to authorities, when they arrived on the scene, they located the victim with upper body injuries.
“A man entered the store and made his way to the other side of the counter and stabbed the clerk several times,” said SPVM spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier.
The suspect then fled the scene and has yet to be found.
The victim was transported to the hospital, where his condition remains unknown.
A security perimeter has been set up to allow investigators to analyze the scene.
