Details on what allegedly happened in the stabbing were scarce in Wednesday's news release; Milford police had previously only confirmed a crime scene. They didn't share more on Wednesday about what they characterized as a "near fatal assault."
Villeda Martinez was arrested about 3:58 p.m. when she was pulled over near the intersection of Sumner and Dilla streets, police said.

The stabbing took place on Purchase Street, which was closed between Glines Avenue and Mechanic Street after 911 calls for an emergency that came in about 4 a.m. First responders found a male lying on the ground bleeding from a laceration and began providing medical aid, police had said Tuesday.
The male was flown in a medical helicopter to UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester, where he was in stable but serious condition.
