the Winchester Police Department to report the stabbing.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan told the press at
a Saturday afternoon press conference that authorities
arrived quickly to the scene.

Winchester Public Library patrons, including the 77-year-

old man, who was in “close proximity” to the victim,
managed to stop the attack and subdue Yao. In the
process, however, the senior citizen was stabbed in the
arm. While his injury is reportedly non-life threatening,
the young woman suffered multiple stab wounds to her

District Attorney Ryan reported that the 911 calls started

Winchester Police Chief Peter MacDonnell expressed

gratitude for the library patrons who risked their lives in
an attempt to save the young woman. MacDonnell also
praised his officers for their swift response. Unfortunately,
the 22-year-old’s wounds were too severe to overcome.
Yao had already done too much damage.
