Police arrested a man this week who is accused of attacking a cook at a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill fraternity house.
Posted — UpdatedThe 39-year-old victim was working at the Beta Theta Pi house, at 114 S. Columbia St., around 1:30 p.m. Monday when she answered a knock at a basement kitchen door from a man claiming to be there to do work, police said.
Before she could verify his claims, investigators said, he grabbed her, forced her into a nearby bathroom and threatened to kill her.
Fraternity members at the house heard her screaming, tackled the man and held him down until police arrived.
