A New Rochelle, New York case is drawing attention after an orthodontist was charged with attempted murder for allegedly attacking her ex fiance’s new girlfriend.
Alika, 41, was arraigned on Wednesday on the charges, according to LoHud. Prosecutors allege that on July 28 she slashed the woman on the left side of the neck, causing what was described as significant and possibly permanent damage.
LoHud reported that the alleged victim was attacked from behind with a razor after the suspect hid behind the front seat of her car, and that the woman was chased down the street. The woman’s hand was cut when she tried to push the attacker away.
The alleged attack happened just a few blocks from the home Alika still shared with her former fiance. The victim was leaving after spending the night there. According to the report, when neighbors came to help, the attacker left the scene, then returned and acted like a concerned neighbor. The victim identified Alika to authorities as the person who attacked her.
LoHud reported that Alika is out on $200,000 bail and is due back in court on November 2. A statement from Alika or her attorney was not included in the reports we reviewed. These are allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
