An unprovoked stabbing behind a grocery store in Montreal’s south shore has prompted investigators to release the image of a suspect.
Police said a woman was stabbed in the back parking lot of a grocery store on Lapinere Boulevard in Brossard on Saturday at around 11 a.m.,
The woman suffered lacerations to the face from the use of a bladed weapon, police said. Her injuries were non-life-threatening.
Police said the attack was “sudden and violent” as there was no prior interaction between the victim and the suspect.
The suspect did not say a word, police said, and then fled on foot towards Bergerac Street towards Broadway Avenue.
