A Boston man was arraigned this morning in Waltham District Court in the stabbing death of a Waltham man last week on the campus of Regis College in Weston.

Judge Gregory Flynn order Robenson Daniel, 20, held without bail.

Police arrested Daniel this morning and charged him with last week's stabbing death of a Waltham man at Regis College.

Daniel, 20, is charged with murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and armed assault with the intent to murder.

Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone, in a statement, says Daniel killed Elhadji Ndiaye, 18, of Waltham, on Friday, Sept. 24 at 3:50 a.m. in a parking lot at Regis College.

Authorities said Ndiaye and Daniel were both with groups of friends and visiting students at Regis College when the two groups got into an argument inside the dorm, which spilled out into the parking lot.

Once outside, the argument turned physical. Daniel stabbed an unidentified 22-year-old Waltham man several times. He then stabbed Ndiaye as he was standing nearby, the district attorney's office said in a statement.

However, Daniel's lawyer, Mark Shea, argued his client should be released on low bail because he was defending himself from a group of men, including one who claimed to have a gun, and the alleged victim, who had a crowbar.

He said the whole incident was caught on video and will prove it was a case of self defense.

The state medical examiner's office ruled that Ndiaye died of a single stab wound to the chest. The other man was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center where he was treated and released.

"This is another tragic example of the deadly consequences that too oftentimes occur when young people resort to weapons as a way to settle disputes,'' said Leone. "Because of the alleged violent actions of this defendant, a young life was lost and his family's lives altered forever. We continue to expand our efforts in schools to include colleges and universities in Middlesex County, as the issues such as these that we see in high school do not disappear when students go off to college. In fact, the freedom that college provides often exacerbates such issues.
