The man was transferred to the hospital in critical condition, but his life is not in danger.
Police describe the man as a suspect and say both he and the woman suffered injuries that may have been caused by a sharp object.
The death marks Montreal’s 15th homicide of the year and the 12th woman killed by a current or former intimate partner in Quebec in 2026, according to data compiled by a Quebec network of domestic violence shelters.
