A 50-year-old woman is expected to face charges after a man suffered serious stab wounds in Montreal’s Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, police say.

Montreal police received a 911 call at around 8:15 p.m. on Thursday reporting a stabbing that happened near the corner of Ontario and Dézéry streets.

The victim, a 56-year-old man, was sent to hospital in critical condition. Police said Friday that his condition had stabilized and his life is not in danger.

Police found the suspect in a vehicle near the intersection of Sherbrooke Street and Orléans Avenue in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.

She is expected to appear in court Friday.
