UPDATE: Suspect Arrested for Biting Toddler’s Face During ‘Zombie’ Attack in Texas Is an Illegal Alien From India
Federal authorities have confirmed that a man charged in a horrific attack on a toddler and her mother at a park in Texas is an illegal alien from India who was protected by the Biden regime.
On April 18, Gabriella Perez and her 3-year-old daughter were fishing at Espada Park in San Antonio when a male suspect emerged from a wooded area and ambushed them, as we previously reported.
Perez says she attempted to flee with her daughter, but the suspect yanked her hair, causing her to fall and drop the child.
The desperate mother said the suspect tried to gouge her eyes with his fingers as she fought him off, then he grabbed the child and began biting her face.
"I got up and was like this is like a f**king zombie movie. Like what the heck," Perez said.
Good Samaritans intervened and restrained the suspect until police arrived and took him into custody.
Another person who had reportedly come to the park with the assailant indicated that they had been doing drugs, potentially a "wax" of some variety.
The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Atharva Vyas.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just announced that Vyas is illegally present in the U.S. and had a prior criminal background.
"Vyas first entered the country in August 2023 on a student visa. Just three months after his entry, he was arrested at the University of Texas campus for felony assault. The University of Texas Police contacted ICE. And yet, the Biden Administration determined this crime was not 'egregious' enough to warrant visa revocation and decided to take no enforcement action against Vyas," DHS explained in a press release issued this weekend.
In 2025, the Trump administration revoked Vyas' F-1 visa due to his arrest for assault, but he apparently remained in the U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer against Vyas, who was initially charged with injury to a child with intent to cause bodily injury, assault causing bodily injury, and illegal entry from a foreign nation.
"This criminal illegal alien brutally bit this child and caused her to lose two teeth. This barbaric assault against this woman and her three-year-old in a park was completely preventable," said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
"The Biden administration NEVER should have released this animal following his arrest for assault. We are working with our partners in Texas to ensure this criminal illegal alien never roams free in American communities again."
The child suffered serious injuries to her face and lost two teeth in the attack, according to her family.
