MONTREAL – A 27-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed a Montreal police officer Wednesday.
Quebec prosecutors say Menachem Benaroch appeared in a Montreal court this morning.
He has also been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, and one count of carrying a weapon for dangerous purposes.
Patricia Johnson, a spokeswoman for Quebec’s prosecutors office, says Benaroch is scheduled to return to court on Friday for a bail hearing.
Police say the life of the officer who was stabbed is not considered to be in danger.
Chief Fady Dagher told reporters Wednesday that the officer was attempting to speak with the suspect when he was suddenly attacked.
