A South Bay woman who said she was victimized for wearing a hijab is sharing her story with KPIX 5, as her alleged attacker remains at large.

Atoosa Biglari, 43, failed to appear for her August 30 arraignment at the Palo Alto courthouse. Judge Brian Buckelew set the bail at $25,000."I don't anticipate that she will be out for long. The attempts to delay these kinds of cases never, never go very well. It is only a matter of time until she is eventually contacted by police," said Santa Clara County District Attorney Adrian Ferrari.

Yasmin captured Biglari fleeing the scene on a bicycle, while holding up her middle finger to the gathering crowd. Hasan, who is a member of his high school football team, maintained the pursuit for nearly two miles, while wearing black Nike slippers, known as"slides". Towards the end of the chase, a minivan driver picked up Hasan and followed Biglari, eventually directing Mountain View Police officers to her location, where she was arrested."I was like 'I told you I was gonna f****** catch you.' Because she was taunting me the whole time. I was like, 'I told you I'd catch you.

Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Council on Arab Islamic Relations, said hate crime laws are only effective, if the laws are enforced. Ferrari, who is the lead prosecutor, said he cares deeply about the case, and wants victims to feel comfortable reporting incidents.
