Montreal police have one man in custody after a violent assault downtown.
At about 2:00 A.M. multiple calls to 9-1-1 were made after a man was seen beating a woman on the ground at the corners of Ste-Catherine St. and Amherst.
When officers arrived they found a 22-year-old woman on the ground, unconcious with serious injuries to her head and face.
She was rushed to hospital and remains in critical condition.
After speaking with people at the scene police managed to track down a suspect not far from the scene, arresting a 29-year-old man at the corner of Ste-Catherine and Wolfe.
Investigators do not know if the man and woman know each other or a motive for the attack.
