Montreal police (SPVM) have arrested two suspects in connection with an attempted murder in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough.

A 32-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were apprehended in Terrebonne on Thursday.

Police received the initial 911 call Wednesday around 1:15 a.m. reporting gunshots near the corner of Durocher Street and Sherbrooke Street.

Officers located a 24-year-old man who had been shot in the lower body and was transported to hospital in critical condition. He has since stabilized.

Police previously said a suspect had left the scene before officers arrived.

The suspects were taken to an investigation centre, where they will meet with investigators.

They are expected to appear in court Friday. Charges will be determined by the crown prosecutor.

The SPVM said Wednesday the attempted murder is linked to an escalating conflict between people known to each other.
