HYANNIS, MASS. (WHDH) - Police in Barnstable have made an arrest following a stabbing at the Cape Cod Mall that left a 17 year old seriously injured.
In an update on Tuesday, the Barnstable Police Department said a “15 year old male juvenile” had been identified as a suspect following the stabbing in Hyannis. Authorities said the teen was later taken into custody and held on $5,000 cash bail pending his arraignment in Barnstable Juvenile Court.
His arrest came after police first responded to the mall around 4 p.m. on Monday for reports of a stabbing. Arriving officers there found a 17-year-old with multiple stab wounds to their upper torso, suffering from what the department considered “serious, but non-life threatening injuries.”
