Elizabeth Wolf is charged with attempted murder after allegedly trying to drown the child following a row with her Palestinian mother.
A woman has been charged with attempted murder after she was accused of trying to drown a three-year-old girl in an alleged racist attack. Witness described Elizabeth Wolf as 'very intoxicated' when she allegedly tried to drown the child in a swimming pool following a row with her Palestinian mother, police said. The 42-year-old was first arrested in May at an apartment complex pool in Euless in the US state of Texas for public intoxication.
Texas said the mother was wearing a hijab and speaking to her children in a foreign language when Wolf approached her. Police said that after questioning the woman, Wolf allegedly tried to grab her six-year-old son and he was able to escape but suffered a cut to his finger. As the woman helped her son, Wolf allegedly grabbed the woman's three-year-old daughter and forced her underwater.
Texas said that with the help of a nearby witness, the mother was able to pull her daughter to safety before emergency services arrived. It has called on authorities to investigate the incident as a hate crime.
