CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A Wellesley College student has been charged with stabbing her former boyfriend as he slept in his college dormitory, weeks after prosecutors said she began e-mailing him death threats.
Anna Tang, 20, pleaded not guilty to charges of armed assault with intent to murder and home invasion in connection with the attack early Tuesday morning, said Corey Welford, a spokesman for the Middlesex District Attorney's office.
Tang was armed with three knives when she sneaked into her former boyfriend's dorm room at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, climbed on top of him and stabbed him in the back as he slept, Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Kontz said during Tang's arraignment Tuesday in Cambridge District Court.
The man woke up and tried to fight his attacker off, but she continued to stab him, Kontz said. At one point, Kontz said Tang lost her grip on the knife and reached for another she had with her.
Welford identified the victim as Wolfe Styke, a 20-year-old a sophomore at MIT. He was brought to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was reported in serious condition after being stabbed several times.
Police later found the suspect in the dorm building, her jacket covered with blood and a black "buck" knife in her backpack, authorities said.
Tang's attorney, John Valerio, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday.
He told The Boston Globe that Tang is a "meek and mild mannered" young woman who had been taking classes at MIT.
Prosecutors said Tang began sending her former boyfriend threatening e-mails after they broke up three weeks ago. They had been dating for about eight months, Kontz said.
Tang was ordered held until an Oct. 30 bail hearing.
