Woman Charged With Trying To Kill Ex-Fiancé's New Girlfriend

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A New Rochelle woman has been indicted after trying to kill another woman with a razor blade, authorities said..

Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. said Wednesday Alika Crew, 42, of New Rochelle, was indicted by a grand jury for the July 28 attempted murder of her former finacé's girlfriend.

Crew was arraigned on the following charges:

• Second-degree attempted murder, a felony
• Three counts of first-degree assault, felonies
• Two counts of second-degree assault, felonies
• First-degree unlawful imprisonment, a felony
• Fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor

She is out on bail, with a return to court date of Nov. 2.

Prosecutors said, on July 28, Crew attacked her former fiancé's new girlfriend by lunging at her from a crouching position behind the driver's seat in victim's car.

The victim fled from the car, but was caught by Crew after a short chase, police said.

Crew sliced the woman's neck with a razor blade, causing significant and possibly permanent damage. The woman's hand was also cut when she tried to push Crew away, according to authorities.

The attack took place just a few blocks from where Crew and her ex-fiancé were still living together as the victim drove away from the house after spending the night.

Police said, when the neighbors came to help the injured woman, Crew left, but then returned a few moments later pretending to be an additional concerned neighbor.

When police arrived, the victim pointed Crew out as the attacker, authorities said.

Crew was arrested at the scene.
