BARNSTABLE, MASS. (WHDH) – One person was taken to the hospital and another was arrested following a stabbing in Centerville on Cape Cod Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

According to a statement from the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office, local and state police responded to a report of a knife attack on Old Stage Road.

The person stabbed was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive, the DA’s office said. Officers took a 24-year-old suspect into custody, Barnstable police said in a post on Facebook.

Old Stage Road was closed Tuesday evening from Great Marsh Road to Shootflying Hill Road, police said.

Neighbors reported hearing a commotion and walking outside to see police swarming the area with guns drawn as a man walked out of a house with a knife.

“And then all of a sudden, this guy came out in front of the house and was actually looking out of the house, and he had a big, long knife in his hand,” a neighbor said. “And at that point everyone started ducking and the officers had asked, ‘Put your knife down,’ and he just kept spinning in circles.”

“So they asked him again, ‘Put the knife away,’ and suddenly we heard this bang and it sounded like a gunshot. The next thing you know, the boy fell to the ground,” she continued.

Police said there is no threat to surrounding neighborhoods and the investigation is ongoing.
