A man in his 30s was treated for shock after bullets narrowly missed him right near a police station overnight.
He was attacked downtown on St-Elisabeth between Ste-Catherine and Rene-Levesque at around midnight.
A police officer was leaving the station when he heard gunshots and saw a man fleeing. A man was apprehended and police then realized he had been the victim.
The man said he had been approached by several people on the street when someone shot at him.
A projectile was found in the windshield of a parked car.
Police have a vague description of the shooter and they're still trying to determine the motive behind the attack.
