Police investigating after man stabbed at O-Train Hurdman station
A man is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries after an overnight stabbing at the O-Train Hurdman Station.
The Ottawa Paramedic Service says emergency crews responded to a call for a stabbing at the station at approximately 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
An adult male was assessed on the scene by paramedics, and transported to hospital in stable condition.
A paramedic spokesperson says the call came for the incident at the Hurdman Station, but didn't have details on where the incident occurred.
The Ottawa Police Service says officers responded to a stabbing in the 1400 block of Riverside Drive Saturday morning. A 23-year-old man was arrested and is facing charges of assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace and breach of probation.
OC Transpo reported on social media just after 1 a.m. that Hurdman Station was closed "due to a security incident." Trains were not stopping at the station along the route.
The station reopened ahead of the Saturday launch of LRT service.
OC Transpo says its special constables responded to the "security incident" with police at Hurdman Station.
"An investigation began, and during this time trains in both directions did not stop at the station. R1 replacement buses ran between St-Laurent and Hurdman stations," OC Transpo said in a statement Saturday afternoon. "OC Transpo personnel were on site to assist customers. R1 continued to operate until approximately 2 a.m., when regular, overnight bus service began."
Hurdman Station is located off Riverside Drive and the Transitway, and is a key connection point for the O-Train Confederation Line and buses.
