ELMONT, Long Island (WABC) — An arrest has been made years after a young woman was attacked with acid in Nassau County.
On March 17, 2021, the hooded attacker ran up behind Hofstra student Nafiah Ikram in her own driveway in Elmont and threw acid in her face and then drove away.
She was 21 years old at the time.
Ikram suffered severe injuries in the attack and she still struggles with poor vision and scarring on her face. She has also suffered emotional trauma since the attack.
On Tuesday, Terrell Campbell was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and possession of noxious materials unlawfully.
He pleaded not guilty during his initial arraignment.
Campbell, an aspiring rapper, lives in Brooklyn with his mother.
Officials say he had an extensive search history of “acid” on the day of the attack.
He was held without bail.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
