Police investigate Mile End murder attempt February 18, 2005

MONTREAL -- A man is in critical condition in a Montreal hospital after being stabbed Thursday night, probably in a Mile End apartment building. The accused attacker, a 19-year-old, was arrested and is being questioned. Around 4 a.m. a prowler outside the Pine St. apartment caught the attention of a police patrol car. When the individual entered the apartment, the police officers followed. Inside they found evidence of a violent encounter. Some time earlier, a man had arrived at the nearby Hôtel-Dieu hospital with serious injuries. Police then established the link with the arrest of the other man. The details of the attack are still unclear. An investigation is under way.
