Around 6 p.m., the police were called to the intersection of avenue du Docteur-Penfield and Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges to assist a young teenager with lower body injuries. According to the SPVM, the injury could have been perpetrated by a firearm. The victim, found conscious, was transported to a hospital center, where there is no fear for his life.
