Ottawa police say they responded to a 911 call at the Metro grocery store at 345 Carleton Ave. around 6:45 p.m. Sunday. Police were told a man with a knife had stabbed multiple people inside the store.

Police believe that dispute somehow began over cereal and escalated when Charron, 25, attacked the pair before fleeing on foot.

Patrol cops would be told to be on the lookout for a white man, with long black hair and a goatee, wearing a winter coat and tuque and heading east on Wellington Street West.

Officers would find Charron on Western Avenue, about 200 metres from the grocery store, in the space between two homes, one of them under construction.
