Woman Stabbed Boyfriend, Refused to Call 911: Cops

Police have arrested a Hamden woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend twice in the back and refusing to call 911 when he asked for emergency help.

According to police, Anjileik Otey, 30, got into a dispute with her 43-year-old boyfriend at a home on Broadway Street in Hamden on Feb. 12. The argument turned physical and Otey stabbed her boyfriend twice in the lower back.

Police said Otey's 6-year-old child witnessed part of the incident.

According to police, Otey's boyfriend asked her to call 911 and she refused, so he left and drove to a family member's home. He was then taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Police arrested Otey and charged her with first-degree assault, disorderly conduct and risk of injury to a minor. She was held on $150,000 bond and was due in court Friday.

The investigation is ongoing.
