A hijab-wearing Texas nurse was beaten, stabbed and called a 'sandn****r' by a white man after he tried to sideswipe her as she was driving home from work.

The 31-year-old nurse from Houston, Texas, who has not been named, was driving home early Thursday morning when the incident occurred, according to the Houston chapter of the civil rights advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The nurse — described as being white herself — was wearing an Islamic headscarf, or hijab, when she was nearly sideswiped by a red SUV, the organization said in a press release.

A Texas nurse, 31, said a man hurled Islamophobic invective before hitting and stabbing her in the arm with a knife, nicking an artery. She had to have the artery cauterized and get stitches

The woman then pulled over and exited her car to check for damage, at which point, she said, the red SUV made a U-turn and pulled up behind her car.

She said she thought the SUV's driver had turned around so that he could check on her well-being.

Instead, she said that he got out of his SUV and began shouting at her using Islamophobic slurs, including 'Oh my God, it’s a raghead,' 'It’s an f**king raghead,' 'sand n****r' and 'desert monkey'.

The nurse then attempted to get back inside her car, but was unable to do so because her passenger side door was locked.

She said the SUV's driver then started waving a knife in her face, before using the knife's handle to hit her shoulder and arms.

One of the SUV's passengers attempted to restrain the nurse's alleged attacker, but was unable to do so before the man stabbed the nurse in the arm.

The stab wound severed an artery, 'resulting in loss of blood, some of which got on the attacker', CAIR told the Houston Chronicle.

The alleged attack occurred in on a road not too far away from the nurse's hospital

The nurse was driving home from her shift at the North Cypress Medical Center when she said she was attacked. She drove herself back to the hospital for her knife wound treatment

Both the SUV driver and his companion then returned to their car and fled the scene. The nurse drover herself back to her hospital, North Cypress Medical Center, where she had the artery cauterized and the stab wound was stitched up.

The nurse, who is married and a mother, initially thought the attack was road rage, according to ABC13.

The nurse described her attacker and his companion as being white men, between 20 to 35 years old. She said the man who stabbed her had neck and arm tattoos.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said that her alleged attacker was 5'8" tall, of a thin build, weighing about 175 pounds. He has dark hair and was wearing a white t-shirt and dark pants at the time of the incident. The attacker's companion was said to have been also of a thin build and wearing a white t-shirt and dark pants.

CAIR Texas-Houston is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of what it called 'an apparently bias-motivated attempted murder.'
