Dorfman fled on foot from the McDonald's at 9461 Dyer Street on Tuesday afternoon, but was found hiding at the nearby Super Lodge motel where he was arrested, police said.

A police arrest affidavit obtained by states the girl's grandmother, who was with her at the time of the attack, identified Dorfman as the stabber.

The girl was taken to El Paso Children's Hospital where she underwent surgery and remains in a serious but stable condition, a hospital spokesman said.

Dorfman is being held on $500,000 bond in the downtown El Paso County jail on a charge of injury to a child.

His extensive criminal history dating back nearly a decade was revealed by court records reviewed by ABC-7 showing at least 18 different criminal cases brought against him since 2011.

Recent charges have included aggravated burglary, a half-dozen car burglaries, alleged drug possession, home burglary, driving without a license, harassment of a public official and a probation violation.

In the same week, a 34-year-old man was charged with the vile sexual assault of a toddler in a Chicago McDonald’s bathroom.

Christopher Puente was arrested on Wednesday morning after a witness said he saw the girl being taken into a stall and called police.

Last year a four-year-old girl was raped in a McDonald's toilet while on a day trip in Oklahoma.

The child left her caretakers to use a toilet in the playground area of the fast food giant on July 16.

A man identified as 37-year-old Joshua David Kabatra eventually opened the door with his arms raised, saying: "I was just washing my hands".

The child then told the minders that Kabatra had sexually assaulted her.
