A homeless man was brutally beaten by several people late Thursday morning, in a place known to attract sexually depraved people, in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, in Montreal.
The violent attack occurred around 11 a.m., a stone’s throw from a municipal garage, at the corner of Sainte-Catherine Est and Bercy streets.
The victim, who is believed to be homeless, was at the time under a viaduct which looked like an open dump, judging by the immense quantity of debris littering the ground there.
