CAMBRIDGE --A judge ordered a Wellesley College student to be held without bail during a dangerousness hearing after she was accused of stabbing her former boyfriend several times as he slept in his MIT dorm room.

Twenty-year-old Anna Tang pleaded not guilty to charges of armed assault with intent to murder and home invasion related to the October 23rd incident.

Prosecutors say Tang gained access to her former boyfriend's dorm room early that morning and plunged a knife into his back as he slept.

The man woke up and tried to fight his attacker off, but she continued to stab him.

Police said Tang's jacket was covered with blood and she was carrying a "buck" knife in her backpack when she was arrested in the dorm building.

Tang's next hearing is scheduled on December 3rd for a pretrial conference.

The victim was identified as Wolfe Styke, a sophomore from Washington state who is majoring in computer science and physics.

He was treated and released for his injuries in a Boston hospital.
