The corner of Blvd. St. Laurent and Ave. des Pins (Blvd. St. Laurent and Ave. des Pins on Google maps) has been the scene this summer of two deadly late-night fights that resulted in murders. There are a several well-known nightclubs near that corner and and several others a couple blocks south near Rue Prince Arthur (including the Kamasutra strip club). This area is very safe most of the time, but I don't think I will wander around there at 3AM.

..The confrontation seems to have commenced on St-Laurent Blvd. near Prince-Arthur St. shortly after 3 a.m., just as the bars were closing. It involved at least six young men, several of them armed with knives. Witnesses reported skirmishes at several other spots along St-Laurent between Prince-Arthur and the site of the slaying. Sections of St-Laurent, Pins, Parc and Prince-Arthur were closed to traffic for most of the day as police combed the area for clues and witness statements.
Noah Nielsen, who lives just across Pins Ave. from where the stabbing occurred, said Tuesday night was a busy one along the Main because of the Fête nationale holiday the next day. “It definitely seemed more like a Friday night than a Tuesday,” he said.
Fights regularly break out on the Main after the bars close, but stabbings are rare, he said.
“This is surprising. This definitely makes me curious about how safe it is. But things always happen when everyone is leaving the bars, and suddenly the space changes because everyone is out on the street.”
