Young woman hit by bus

A young woman was hit by an STM bus Friday evening as it turned down a detour off Jean-Talon necessitated by the work on Pie-IX. Her condition has been upgraded from critical to stable.

Two men were stabbed in a Plateau brawl after bar-closing time Saturday morning, not fatally, and several arrests ensued.

Claude Grou says he will soon be back on the job. Grou, 77, stabbed during mass at St Joseph’s Oratory on Friday, wasn’t seriously injured. The suspect, Vlad Cristian Eremia, has given police no reason to suspect any political motive; Eremia had previously been accused in a case of criminal harassment although cleared of the charge. The Journal link includes video of the incident.

Update: Eremia has been charged with attempted murder and will also be given a psychological assessment.
