Police say they received a 911 call for an armed assault inside an apartment building around 1:30 p.m. today.

Officers found a 23-year-old man who was transported to hospital with stab wounds to his upper body, but doctors do not fear for his life.

A 26-year-old woman was arrested at the scene.

Const. Véronique Dubuc says officers obtained additional information on site and found the body of a 60-year-old woman in a nearby apartment.
