A Quebec provincial police car is seen at their headquarters in Montreal, Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024. Three men injured after assailant enters Quebec mosque west of Montreal.

MONTREAL — Three men have been injured after a 24-year-old man entered a mosque southwest of Montreal armed with a knife.

Police in Chateauguay, Que., on Montreal’s South Shore, say the three men were in their fifties and suffered only minor injuries, with one transported to hospital.

The suspect entered the Muslim cultural centre in Chateauguay this afternoon.

A physical altercation followed, but police wouldn’t confirm whether the knife was used to cause any of the injuries.

Police say the 24-year-old has been transported to the police station and an investigation is underway, but they did not provide any details about a possible motive.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims says it is “greatly concerned” about the incident.
