According to police, the incident occurred on Monday afternoon at École Secondaire Henri-Bourassa. The victim, a 16-year-old male, was stabbed in the upper body and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. He is currently receiving medical treatment and is expected to survive.
The suspect, who has not been identified, is believed to be a minor and is currently at large. Police are actively searching for the suspect and have asked anyone with information to come forward.
