المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsA person was stabbed Tuesday morning in the heart of downtown Nantucket, just steps from the ferry docks that funnel thousands of summer visitors onto the famously wealthy Massachusetts island, authorities said.
Nantucket police said officers responded at 10:23 a.m. to South Beach Street between Broad Street and Oak Street for a reported stabbing. The area is by a busy commercial stretch near the Steamship Authority ferry terminal, where tourists spill into the island’s cobblestoned downtown.
The injured person was treated at the scene and rushed by the Nantucket Fire Department to Nantucket Cottage Hospital, police said.
The stabbing unfolded in one of Nantucket’s most heavily trafficked areas.
Witnesses told the Nantucket Current that the stabbing followed a verbal and physical altercation between the driver of a Myles Reis garbage truck and the driver of a Sayles Seafood delivery truck that had parked in the area.
After the stabbing, the injured person ran toward "The Strip," witnesses told the local outlet, where employees at Stubby’s and other nearby businesses tried to stop the bleeding with napkins before first responders arrived.

A second person involved in the incident was detained at the scene, according to authorities.
As of Tuesday evening, officials had not released the suspect’s identity, but an arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday morning in Nantucket District Court.
Police said the investigation remained active and that no further details would be released.
The alleged attack came as Nantucket enters peak summer season, when the normally quiet island is transformed by waves of vacationers, day-trippers, seasonal workers and wealthy homeowners.
Massachusetts State Police declined to provide additional detail, referring Fox News Digital to the Nantucket Police Department.
