A University of Hartford student has been charged with attempted murder after he stabbed two of his classmates while re-enacting a movie scene for a drama class, officials say.
The three Connecticut college students were working on a group project Sunday afternoon in a dorm room when one of them took the class assignment too far. The student, Jake Wascher, now faces two counts of attempted murder and is being held on $US1 million bail. They were acting out "a movie scene in which a person gets stabbed, at which point began to stab both victims before fleeing on foot," Hartford Police said.
Police did not specify which movie the students were re-enacting, but The Hartford Courant reported it was "The Butterfly Effect," a 2004 sci-fi thriller starring Ashton Kutcher.The 19-year-old suffered puncture wounds to his chest and back. He underwent surgery and is in critical condition.
