NEW YORK- A
Muslim woman who was attacked while strolling her baby in Brooklyn last month,
is finally speaking out.

In
an interview with New York local affiliate PIX11,  the woman disguised herself out of fear of
retaliation.

As
she and another Muslim woman walked in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, 32-year-old
Emirjeta Xhelili allegedly launched into a vicious attack.

According
to a criminal complaint, Xhelili hit the victims with her fists multiple times,
then “pushed the (victim’s) stroller toward the ground” and
“tried to pull the (victim’s) hijab off (her) head.”

Police
say Xhelili also shouted at the Islamophobic comments at the Muslim women,
telling them to leave America and they “don’t belong here.”

Xhelili
herself comes from an immigrant family. She is of Albanian decent.

“First
and foremost, I was afraid for my baby and like any other mother in this time,
this is my main concern,” the victim said. “I wasn’t concerned for my
own life or well-being, but the baby is what scared me the most.”

NYPD
officers responding to the attack said Xhelili didn’t even stop the attack when
they showed up and continued to spew racially charged words towards the
victims. Evidence of hate-filled language continued on Xhelili’s Facebook page,
which was flooded with anti-Muslim and anti-black remarks.

The
victim says she has worn a niqab for three years now, but has never
encountered anything like the attack she suffered last month.

Her
husband says he’s now scared to drop off the couple’s older children
at school or let her run her usual errands.

Xhelili
continues to sit behind bars. Her bail was set at $50,000. She
is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 16.
