The brute who threw acid in an Elmont college student’s face has finally been arrested — nearly five years after the sickening attack that left the young woman permanently disfigured, authorities said.
The wannabe rapper appeared in Nassau County Court Tuesday, marking the first arrest in a case that shocked Long Island and drew national attention over four years ago. Prosecutors claimed the suspect, a wannabe rapper, boasted about an acide attack in one of his songs posted to social media.
The victim, Nafiah Ikram, previously condemned prosecutors for dropping the ball in the case, allowing the sicko to remain on the run while she suffered second- and third-degree burns and lost vision in one eye.
