HOUSTON POLICE Jose Guillermo Molina, 21, is accused of stabbing a 3-year-old boy in the neck as he played outside in a Houston apartment complex courtyard Tuesday.

A ridiculously tattooed sicko is accused of stabbing a 3-year-old boy in the neck with a kitchen knife as his mother helplessly begged and pleaded with him to stop.

The Houston preschooler was playing with other children in his apartment courtyard Tuesday when Jose Guillermo Molina, 21, walked up behind him and plunged a knife into his neck, KTRK reported.

Upon hearing her child's cries, the boy’s mother rushed to his side and begged Molina to not pull the blade out of him, for fear he could bleed to death.

One neighbor said Molina ignored her plea.

Click2Houston.com The child is seen being carried home by his mother after he was treated for his injuries. A witness told local reporters that the boy was stabbed at least three times in the neck by Molina.

"He grabbed the little boy by the neck, pulled his head back and stabbed him in the neck three times," frightened neighbor Lydia Hernandez told KPRC.

"After he stabbed him, he put the little boy on the ground and put his knee on the little boy's chest, and he was trying to choke him and the mother kept begging him to leave him alone."

Once Molinda was through, he allegedly threw his weapon away and casually walked across the street, where he was picked up by police.

Click2Houston.com The boy was reportedly playing in this apartment complex's courtyard when Molina came up behind him and grabbed him by the neck. Police have yet to find a motive for the attack.

The boy, incredibly, survived.

Seen being carried home in his mother's arms Thursday, he had a big bandage across his neck but is expected to be OK.

Molina, who was described as living next door to the boy's mother, was charged with injury to a child and held without bond.


KPRC reported that this wasn't his first arrest, and that he was previously convicted of attacking his own mother.

Investigators said they are still working to determine a motive for this week's heartless stabbing which appears to have been random.
