An altercation between neighbours in a rooming house in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ended with a man in the hospital Wednesday morning.
The 53-year-old was transported to Montreal in serious condition.
The fight broke out for an unknown reason in the hallway of the building on Champlain St., police said. They say the suspect, 35, then barricaded himself in his own room. At 7 a.m., police were still trying to convince the man to surrender.
The other residents of the building were asked to leave for their own safety.
