MONTREAL – Police are searching for a man who fell through the ice on Thursday in the Prairies River in Montreal.
They say two young men were walking on the frozen surface of the river in Montreal’s Île-Bizard—Sainte-Geneviève borough when the ice gave way.
One man was pulled from the water and taken to hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
The second man was swept away by the current and police couldn’t find him on Thursday after a lengthy search.
They have resumed searching along the riverbank and with two boats and a drone.
Cégep Gérald-Godin, a nearby junior college, says the missing man is one of its students.
