The owner of an apartment building on rue du Havre, near the Frontenac metro station in Montreal, is experiencing moments of anguish after sticking a dirty syringe in his hand.
Around 6 a.m., Tuesday morning, while it was still dark, Luc Bruneau came to his building and saw two users injecting themselves. Individuals will eventually leave.
Mr. Bruneau goes to approach his building to open the garage door, but unfortunately, he drops his set of keys on the ground among the dead leaves. As he bends down to retrieve them, he pricks himself on a dirty syringe.
“I clearly saw that there was blood in the syringe and that the base of the syringe had been moved. They had just used it,” he explained in an interview with TVA News.
The consumer, witnessing the scene, will even come to see Mr. Bruneau to take back his syringe. A surreal scene that will leave Luc Bruneau speechless.
“It doesn’t happen often in my life to stay frozen. I was stunned,” he admitted.
Friday, in an interview on LCN, he called on the authorities by calling for more repression against consumers, because he says that the victim could have been a child.
“The attempts we have made to help these people, at some point, it must stop. We must move to repression, and to solid and strong repression,” he stressed.
Mr. Bruneau quickly went to a medical clinic in downtown Montreal. He had to undergo a series of treatments, including triple therapy for HIV and hepatitis.
He will have to wait three months before knowing the final results on his risks of having contracted these diseases.
