A torrent of heavy rain due to remnants of Hurricane Beryl dumped up to 100 millimetres of precipitation on some neighbourhoods in Montreal Wednesday.

Montreal police received a phone call at 9:15 a.m. on Saturday about a stabbing on Camille Street, where a 30-year-old man was found injured.

The preventative advisory affected about 150,000 residents in the eastern half of the island of Montreal south of Sherbrooke Street, including Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles and Montréal-Est.

Montreal police say there was a possible conflict between the victim and the suspect.

The walkout is part of a campaign of rotating surprise strikes to speed up contract talks. Negotiations that began in April between hotel owners and the union have stalled.

Earthquakes Canada says the 4.6 magnitude quake, at a depth of 18 kilometres, happened around 5:45 a.m. The epicentre was located about 20 kilometres northwest of Drummondville and 40 kilometres south of Trois-Rivières.

A child has died after being found unresponsive Friday in a residential swimming pool in Longueuil on Montreal's South Shore.
