A Nunavik man has been arrested and charged with stabbing a young woman outside of a patient residence in Montreal.
On Jan. 5 just before 10 p.m., Montreal police were called to Ullivik, Nunavik’s patient residence in the city’s Dorval neighbourhood, where an 18-year-old woman had been stabbed outdoors.
The Montreal police service said the woman suffered stab wounds to her upper body and was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
A 28-year-old man from Akulivik was arrested on the scene, said police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant.
Ricky Noah Qinuajuak appeared in court on Wednesday, Jan. 6, where he faced charges of assault, uttering death threats and carrying a weapon for dangerous purposes.
The Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services would not comment on the incident.
? Where we’re the Ullivik guards during all this drama? Don’t tell me that there is no security camera around the Ullivik premises cause there are.?
Cameras don’t stop idiots from stabbing people
