Tuesday evening: Yarmouth Police officers responded to the area of Station Ave and Captain Small Road for a young man saying he had just been blinded with pepper spray during some type of altercation. The pepper spray victim reportedly pulled a knife in self-defense, according to radio transmissions. His attacker(s) apparently had fled. Rescue arrived and eventually transported the young man to Cape Cod Hospital. Officers were unable to get the victim to cooperate regarding the identity of his attacker(s), according to radio transmissions. He was only interested in being treated for the pepper spray exposure.
