The following is the actual BPD press statement:

At 12:55pm on June 1st, a caller notified the police of an altercation involving 31-year-old Bryan Parks of Hyannis and a 30-year-old man from Mashpee.

Parks was crossing South St. in a designated crosswalk when a pick-up truck driven by the Mashpee man approached him.

Parks did not believe the truck was going to yield, so he threw a metal object at the truck, striking it and causing damage.

The operator of the truck exited with a hammer as Parks drew a spring assisted knife from his person. A verbal confrontation ensued, and Parks threw the knife at the truck, missing it.

Parks was placed under arrest and booked at the Barnstable Police Department for Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (knife), Injury to Real or Personal Property, and Carrying A Dangerous Weapon (spring assisted knife).

He was then transport to Barnstable District Court.
