Someone was stabbed overnight in Falmouth, Massachusetts, leading to a large police investigation, Cape Cod law enforcement has confirmed.
The Falmouth Police Department got a 911 call at around 11:30 Monday night for a stabbing at a home in East Falmouth, according to a news release from Falmouth Police Chief Edward Dunne and Cape & Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe.

The victim is in his late 20s, a law enforcement source told the NBC10 Boston Investigators.
Video of the scene shows several different emergency crews responding to the situation, including the Falmouth Police Department, the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office and Massachusetts State Police.
An area was taped off and part of the road was blocked by police cars.
Authorities don't believe the stabbing was random, and say that the public is not in danger.
Despite that, the situation has been unnerving for some people who live in the area, like Deborah Rose, whose son was killed in a stabbing not far away about a month ago.
"I sleep with a club by my bed," she said. "Ever since my son got murdered, because I don’t know what’s going to happen next in that backyard."
An investigation is still underway by Falmouth police and state police detectives assigned to the DA's office.
