YARMOUTH – Yarmouth Police report that on Thursday at 9:19 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Lyman Lane and Mercury Drive in South Yarmouth for a report of a male subject knocking on doors who was covered in blood and was requesting individuals to call the police for him.
Officers promptly arrived on location and were meet in the street by the victim who stated he was stabbed by his girlfriend in the head area several times with a pair of scissors. Police Officers recovered the scissors and assisted the bleeding victim who was subsequently transported by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital by members of the Yarmouth Fire Department.
The suspect had fled the scene and Yarmouth Police Department K9 Handler Patrol Officer Mike Kramer and his partner Satu were called to the scene.
