HYANNIS – [DEVELOPING] – According to sources, an off-duty patrolman was simply out driving with his family, which included young children, when things suddenly became very volatile…

At about 3:15PM, the off-duty Barnstable police officer called dispatch reporting he had just been approached by an aggressive driver reportedly making threats… in what was described as a road rage incident.

Feeling threatened, especially for the sake of his young family, the officer reportedly identified himself as a police officer and drew his firearm.

The alleged aggressive driver then reportedly fled in what was described as a 2006 gray Hyundai Elantra.

A patrol car was in the immediate area moments after the alleged assault. The off-duty officer was able to signal the patrol car to pull over into the Barnstable Town Hall parking lot off South Street, where he told the other cop what had just happened (above photo)…

Police traced the Elantra’s license plate info back to an address in West Barnstable. When officers responded to that address they were initially unable to make contact…

The incident remains under investigation and no further details were available at the time of this report.
