Police responded to the victim’s home in Leverett shortly before 1 a.m. on Christmas Eve and were met by Hachiyangagi, who told them that she called 911 after finding her friend "lying on the floor of the residence barely breathing, semi-conscious and with a head injury," local media reported.

She said her friend had been attacked by an unknown assailant, the station reported.

The victim told officers at the hospital that the person who attacked her was Hachiyanagi, who was not a stranger. The woman thought she was going to die at Hachiyanagi's hands.

According to the paper, the woman said Hachiyanagi began attacking her after showing up uninvited on Dec. 23 and saying that she wanted to talk about her feelings.

Rie Hachiyanagi, an art professor at Mount Holyoke College, was charged with armed assault to murder, according to reports.
