A San Antonio community is reeling from an outrageous attack on a mother and daughter at a local park recently.
The incident has fueled widespread outrage over the ongoing toll of the Biden administration’s open-borders policies.
WOAI provided this report:
Gabriella started pulling his hair to get him off her daughter when several good Samaritans intervened and began kicking and punching the man. They restrained him until police arrived.

Police have identified the man as 24-year-old Atharva Vyas. He is now charged with aggravated assault and assault causing bodily injury.
The little girl lost two teeth in the attack.
Pundits and social media users quickly shared the story, often alongside a reminder of the potential dangers associated with unchecked immigration:
What the hell.
An illegal alien ATE A 3-year-old child's face in Texas.
The animal punched the mother in the face, causing her to drop her baby, then grabbed the girl, and bit her face.

This is sickening. A mom and her little girl just trying to enjoy Espada Park and this illegal alien attacks them in broad daylight — even biting the 3-year-old in the face.
The bystander who stepped in is a hero, but we shouldn’t have to rely on civilians to stop predators.…

Here are some additional details from KSAT, including a reaction from the 24-year-old mother involved in the attack:
“I think when everyone was there, I got up and was like this is like a f—— zombie movie. Like what the heck,” Perez said.
Police said the child suffered serious bodily injury. The report states that Perez and the child were evaluated for their injuries.
SAPD did not mention drug use in the preliminary report. However, Perez said someone Vyas was with did mention partaking in drugs.
ADVERTISEMENT“One of the persons that he came with bought some wax off of a California website, and it said it was legal here in Texas,” Perez remembered.
SAPD said witnesses restrained Vyas until officers arrived.
“They did such a selfless thing, and it still helped us, me and my child,” Perez said. “I was kind of freaking out and then finally they came … I wanna say they came right when he was back on top of me. The guy was still attacking me, but they were helping me.”
Stories like this are frustratingly common across the U.S., but Texas has been disproportionately impacted.
Here’s an example from just a few months ago:
