A contractor was stabbed at a home in Ile-Bizard Friday after an occupant refused to leave the home, according to police.

The incident happened at 3:10 p.m. in a home on Alphonse-Desjardins St. near Montee de l'Eglise.

Three contractors had arrived at a home that was foreclosed on to discover the man still inside. The occupant, a 49-year-old man, allegedly stabbed a 45-year-old contractor in the upper body. The two other workers were not injured.

Police say the victim's life is not in danger.

The suspect is in police custody.
