Abraham allegedly followed the victim to Daly Rink on May 4 after their cars nearly came into contact on 93 in Dorchester. At the rink, police said Abraham got out of her car and stabbed the man in the leg before driving off.

The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment and is now recovering.

Abraham appeared in Newton District Court Wednesday, where prosecutors said she has another open case for a "similar" incident. She's being held until a dangerousness hearing on Monday.
