NEWS BRIEFS: Police looking for man who “chucked” a knife at a convenience store patron…
CENTERVILLE – At about 10:00PM last evening, Barnstable squad cars rushed to the 7-Eleven on Route 28 to assist after a man said he was hit with a knife “chucked” in anger.
The call initially came into police as a “stabbing,” but the man was reportedly uninjured after the knife luckily bounced off his arm.
Barnstable Police are still investigating, but according to sources, the suspect had been behaving aggressively prior to suddenly throwing the knife…
A BOLO was given out to police departments in neighboring towns, looking for a black male driving a black pickup truck with a large amount of brush in its bed.
Police are treating the incident as an assault and battery involving a knife, but there was no actual stabbing.
