The Euless, Texas police have reached out to Tarrant County prosecutors to consider the attempted drowning of a Muslim toddler at an apartment pool last month as a hate crime.

A Texas state representative, whose district includes parts of the town, has joined the calls for increasing scrutiny of the incident, KDFW reported.

A woman named Elizabeth Wolf, 42, has been accused of attempted capital murder, injury to a child, and public intoxication following the incident that occurred on May 19. According to CrimeOnline, Wolf approached an American citizen wearing a hijab and her two children, asking them about their background. She then made racial remarks and attempted to grab the woman’s 6-year-old son, who managed to escape. Subsequently, she successfully dragged the woman’s 3-year-old daughter underwater.

The Palestinian-American mother pulled her daughter away as the child was yelling for help and coughing up water.

One witness, Emma Aziz, recounted the horrifying event, stating, “She was like, help me! She’s killing my baby, she’s killing my baby!” The situation was described as chaotic and terrifying by Aziz and other witnesses who were present at the scene.

Wolf was released on bond as the Texas Council on American-Islamic Relations called for a hate crime probe.

A Euless police spokesperson told NBC News that they had recommended the incident be considered a hate crime, and the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office said it was considering it.

Texas State District 92 Rep. Salman Bhojani told KDFW that “hate against one community is hate against all of us.”

“And we can’t sit around and let crimes like these become the norm in our great state of Texas,” he said.

KDFW said it’s not clear if Wolf actually lived at the apartment where the incident took place.
