Hyannis, MA- Duane Alves claims he was attacked by off duty police officers.

A Cape Cod DJ claims he was attacked early Thursday at the Steak House Sports Bar by men attending the spring conference of the New England Narcotic Officers Association.

Duane Alves of Falmouth, better known as DJ Alvzie, also claims men he thinks were off-duty police officers blocked all the exits from the building, preventing him from leaving. When he did try to leave, he was attacked a second time, he said. The second attack resulted in serious injuries, including broken bones around his right eye and a damaged nasal cavity, said Alves' attorney, Robert Bianchi of Hyannis.

The Barnstable police confirmed Friday that two altercations took place that night at the bar, "the nature of which we're investigating," Lt. Sean Balcom said.

"I'm still in shock," Alves said Thursday at the Barnstable police station, where he gave a statement to investigating officers.

Alves said he was working as a DJ at the Steak House Sports Bar on Wednesday night. Just after midnight, he said, the bar was thick with off-duty police officers attending the annual conference that was held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the Resort and Conference Center in Hyannis.
