A Connecticut orthodontist was indicted in the stabbing of the girlfriend of her former fiancee in a love-triangle attack where she pretended to be a hero, New York prosecutors said Wednesday.
Alika Crew, 42, of New Rochelle, N.Y., worked at the Stein Dental Group in Stamford, Conn. She faces a slew of charges, including attempted second-degree murder, three counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and unlawful imprisonment, all felonies, and misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon, Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino said.
She has pleaded not guilty, lohud.com reported.
Crew is accused of attacking her romantic rival July 28. She reportedly hid in the back seat of the woman's Jeep and lunged at her. She chased the woman who fled and sliced her neck and hand with a razor blade, prosecutors said.
The woman suffered "significant and possibly permanent damage to the neck," authorities said. The attack took place a few blocks from where Crew and her ex-fiance were living together at the time.
After the attack, she left the scene, but returned and pretended to be a good Samaritan as concerned neighbors came to help the victim, prosecutors allege. When police officers arrived, the victim pointed Crew out as her assailant and she was arrested.
