A man is expected to be arraigned today on Cape Cod on two charges of attempted murder after police said he stabbed two men Sunday in South Yarmouth.

John Windland, 35, was arrested Tuesday night during a traffic stop in Barnstable. He will also be charged with assault and battery with a knife when he appears today in Barnstable District Court.

According to police, Windland entered a home on Angus Avenue and stabbed a 27-year-old man in the arm and a 40-year-old man in the shoulder and upper bicep. The victims, whom police did not identify, were taken to Cape Cod Hospital, treated, and released.
