one evening when she felt someone rush up behind her. A liquid splashed her in the face.
She screamed for her father.
“I started … panicking. I was like, ‘Dad, someone threw something in my face!’ Ikram said following the attack in Elmont, New York. “And he was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s acid.’ ”
It was March 17, 2021. The sulfuric acid scorched Ikram’s face, neck and chest, and permanently blinded her right eye, requiring numerous surgeries and reconstructive grafts.
For nearly five years, as she navigated the physical and emotional aftermath of the surprise attack, the case went unsolved. Her mysterious assailant, who fled in a red Nissan Altima, remained unknown.
But for Ikram and her family, the case this week took a welcome turn. Prosecutors on Tuesday charged a 29-year-old Brooklyn man, Terrell Campbell, with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of noxious material. He pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.
