The woman, identified as Elizabeth Wolf, 42, was approached by officers as she tried to leave and placed under arrest for public intoxication.

The victim’s mother told police Wolf was questioning where she was from and if the two children playing at the pool were hers, the release said. The mother was visibly Muslim and wore a hijab, or Islamic headscarf, and modest swimwear, according to the council.


Wolf also made statements about the mother not being an American and made other racial statements, according to police.

The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater,” the news release said. ...................................
