A 23-year-old man was stabbed with a knife in Angus Park on the night of September 24-25, 2026. The attack occurred in the residential park located in the Rosemont–La Petite‑Patrie borough of Montreal, Quebec.
Angus Park is a small green space surrounded by housing and frequently used by local residents for evening walks, jogging and informal gatherings. The park lies within the larger Rosemont–La Petite‑Patrie area, a densely populated district known for its mix of families, students and long‑time neighbourhoods. The night of the incident was typical for the area, with the park remaining open after sunset for residents seeking a quiet outdoor setting.
The victim, identified only by his age, was the sole person reported to have been injured in the assault. The stabbing was carried out with a knife, and the injury was sufficient to be noted as a stabbing event by authorities. No additional persons were reported injured or involved.
The incident took place during the transition from September 24 to September 25, a period when the park is often visited by locals taking advantage of the early autumn weather. While the exact time of the assault has not been disclosed, it occurred after dark, a time when the park's lighting is limited.
The stabbing adds a rare violent occurrence to the park’s otherwise calm reputation. Residents of Rosemont–La Petite‑Patrie have not reported similar incidents in recent months, and the neighbourhood is generally regarded as safe. The event underscores the unexpected nature of such attacks in community spaces.
Details about any investigation, suspects or motives have not been released, and local authorities have not provided further comment beyond confirming the incident.
