A man is in serious but stable condition after an assault at the Parliament LRT station Saturday afternoon, Ottawa paramedics say.<\/p>\n

Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson Tyler Leslie said they were called to the area at 4:30 p.m. <\/p>\n

Leslie said the man sustained facial injuries and an abdominal wound, but could not confirm exactly how he was hurt.<\/p>\n

Ottawa police later told CBC they were investigating reports someone had been attacked with an “edged weapon” and that the injuries were non-life-threatening.<\/p>\n

The man was transferred to the trauma centre\u00a0at The Ottawa’s Hospital’s Civic campus.<\/p>\n

LRT service was disrupted<\/p>\n

Police tape could be seen Saturday afternoon strung up along the underground entry gates at one side of the station.<\/p>\n

Police, paramedics and OC Transpo special constable vehicles were also parked outside the station over the course of the day.<\/p>\n

LRT service at both Parliament and Rideau stations was only using the eastbound platforms for several hours due to the Ottawa Police Service’s investigation, OC Transpo said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after 8 p.m., full service was restored.<\/p>\n

Ottawa police said Saturday evening they had not made any arrests. Their investigation continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":937193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-937192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=937192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/937193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=937192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=937192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=937192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
