Woman Arrested Following Stabbing in Old Burial Ground

Cambridge Police arrested a woman who reportedly stabbed her boyfriend in the Old Burial Ground cemetery following a verbal altercation early Saturday morning.

Revere resident Mariel Teves, 24, was arrested at the scene for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to a Cambridge Police Department report. She allegedly stabbed her boyfriend twice in the leg.

Cambridge Police arrived at the cemetery Saturday morning after receiving a call from a witness to find the victim, a 26-year-old from Medford, lying on the ground bleeding. The victim was treated at the scene for non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, according to the report.

“[Teves] was distressed at the scene, expressing great concern for the individual,” Cambridge Police spokesperson Jeremy Warnick said. “She expressed some sort of regret.”

Teves was arraigned Monday morning in Cambridge District Court with bail set for $5,000. Neither the assailant nor the victim are affiliated with the University.
