A Massachusetts teenager has been charged concerning an incident at a mall Monday that led to several stab wounds and the victim being transported by MedFlight.

According to police, at approximately 4:00 p.m., Barnstable Patrol Officers and Detectives responded to the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis for a report of an individual who had been stabbed. Upon arrival, Officers located a 17-year-old male who had sustained multiple stab wounds in his upper torso.
