An illegal immigrant who was arrested Thursday in Massachusetts during a tense confrontation that escalated between her family and federal authorities repeatedly stabbed her coworker with scissors and attacked the victim with a trash bin over the summer, officials said Friday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially stopped Juliana Milena Ojeda-Montoya during a traffic stop in Fitchburg, 60 miles east of Boston, the Department of Homeland Security said.

At the time, Ojeda-Montoya was in a vehicle with her husband, also an illegal immigrant from Ecuador, and their child, who was sitting on her lap instead of a car seat, authorities said.
