Borjas, who earlier claimed that she heard the attacker say ‘Go back to your own country!’ later said that she heard the words ‘Go back, go back.’ Borjas added that she had been driving through the area when the incident took place.

She stated that although she tried to halt and help the old man, the assailant threatened to hurl a brick at the woman’s car. Unable to offer help, Borjas clicked a photograph of the woman and dialed 911.

Borjas also shared that she saw a few men arriving at the scene, and the girl’s mother told them that Rodriguez had tried to take away her child, after which the group of men began to beat him.

The County Sheriff’s Office in Las Vegas has stated that the incident of violence did not classify as a hate crime.
