A man was stabbed twice in the abdomen as he was leaving a Gatineau, Que., convenience store with his wife on Thursday night, police say.

It happened at about 10:30 p.m. at the Couche-Tard convenience store on Boulevard du Plateau, Gatineau police said.

It's unclear what, if anything, led to the altercation.

The man's injuries were not considered life-threatening and he was taken to hospital by paramedics, police said.

Police found a suspect vehicle and arrested the two people inside. A woman was later released without charges, and a man is facing charges of assault, assault with a weapon, and possibly others, police said.

He was expected to appear in court Friday morning.
