Jasmine Renee Campbell, 23, failed to appear in court on Friday following the shocking Islamophobic attack, which took place at a Portland MAX light rail station on November 12.

Campbell is accused of approaching her victim from behind on the evening of the attack, before pulling the hijab off the woman's head and choking her with it.

According to court documents obtained by The Sun, Campbell subsequently stripped naked - except for a leather jacket that she was wearing - and rubbed the religious garment all over her exposed body.

'She [Campbell] was fighting and playing around, [saying] that she wanted to be a stripper, that she wanted to show the victim that she did not have to be a Muslim, that people don't have to be black or white, and the she wanted the victim to know that religion doesn't define her,' the court documents state.

Campbell was indicted by a grand jury last month on two counts of second-degree bias crime, attempted strangulation, harassment and third-degree criminal mischief.

The victim - who attends Portland State University - is still reeling from the attack, and is too afraid to wear her hijab in public. She now wears knit caps or a scarf to cover herself
