ELMONT, NY — It's been two years since an attacker threw acid on Nafiah Ikram in her Elmont driveway.

Police are increasing the reward to $50,000 in hopes of spurring activity that will ultimately lead to an arrest in the case.

Ikram, who was a 21-year-old college student at the time of the incident, was doused on the evening of Wednesday, March 17 outside of her Arlington Avenue home.

A GoFundMe page to help with the victim's medical expenses has received more than $572,000 in donations.

Ikram was left with severe burns on her face.
