A 31-year-old woman was arrested by police and taken to an interrogation center where investigators are meeting to determine her connection to the attack.
The motives and circumstances of the attack are currently unclear, said Jean Drouin, spokesperson for the Montreal Metropolitan Police Service (SPVM).
The scene was protected by a security perimeter while awaiting the arrival of investigators and a forensic identification technician, who were to shed light on the incident, it added.
