Man stabbed trying to run off car thieves downtown
Police cordoned off Crescent St. below Ste. Catherine St. Wednesday night for several hours after an attempted car theft left a man with stab wounds. Around 8 p.m. a 20 year-old man found several youths trying to steal his car. The men got into a fight and one man stabbed the car’s owner in the upper body. Montreal police Constable Daniel Lacoursière did not know what the weapon was, a knife or some other sharp object, but said the victim was not seriously injured. After the fight, the car-jackers ran off, but one of them, age 19, was later apprehended.
