A group of teenagers brawled with convenience store employees at a gas station injuring a 21-year-old employee in Montreal’s Ville-Marie borough early Friday morning.
Montreal police (SPVM) say several 911 calls were made around 12:30 a.m. reporting a gathering of several dozen teenagers at the intersection of Papineau Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard, near the Jacques-Cartier Bridge.
Police believe that the teens, aged between 14 and 19, had gathered in a parking lot near the intersection and began throwing objects at the gas station convenience store.

“Some employees reportedly went outside and a confrontation then escalated,” according to SPVM spokesperson Florence Stafford.
Two of the employees were struck by the objects but were not injured.
A third employee, a 21-year-old man, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries during the incident.
Police officers dispersed the crowd quickly upon arrival.
No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
