Authorities in Harris County, Texas are investigating a possible hate crime. 

A woman, who says she does not want to be named, wearing a hijab said a man yelling anti-Muslim slurs attacked her with a knife.

The Houston ER nurse says a man in a red truck nearly hit her car.

That’s when she says the Caucasian man got out of the truck and began using racial slurs.

The nurse says she tried getting back into her car but not before the man pulled out a knife.

“He turned the knife around, and he stabbed the knife part, the pointy part like that, and I guess trying to stab my chest, but I had my arms like this, and it went in my, in my arm instead,” she said.

“I thought I was gonna die. I was just thinking about my kids,” she added.

She says the man and his passenger took off.

The Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects.
