Montreal police say they are investigating three separate assassination attempts that happened almost at the same time late Friday night.
Sgt. Raphaël Bergeron, a spokesman for the Montreal police, said a 19-year-old man, who was unknown to police, was stabbed with a knife around 10:15 p.m. in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district.
He was taken to hospital due to upper body injuries, but his condition is stable.
Bergeron said a few minutes later, two men were shot several times, at 10:30 p.m., at various locations in the east of the city.
The first of the two, a 35-year-old man, has to undergo some surgery, but his condition is stable.
Police say the second victim, another 19-year-old, was sent to hospital for serious injuries to his upper body, but his condition is also stable. Both victims are known to police.
