Students robbed outside Côte Vertu métro

Station #7

Two students were robbed and assaulted outside the Côte Vertu métro station around midnight on April 15.
The male and female victims, both 17, were waiting at a bus shelter on Edouard Laurin Blvd. when they were approached by a Latino man who was whistling. The man told the female student to stay calm and pulled out a black pistol, put it against the stomach of the male student. In French, he said: “Give me your money.”
The student produced a handful of change and said: “That’s all I’ve got.”
The suspect pistol whipped the male in the head, grabbed the change, took the female student’s purse and ran off.
