Taufiq\u2019s recording of the Nov. 23 incident has gone viral on social media, directing a firestorm of anger toward the attacker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhat was most disappointing is that there\u2019s no level of contrition, no level of remorse,\u201d Taufiq told NBC News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Taufiq did not initially file a police report, but he said the attacker\u2019s identity has been shared with him and now he intends to press charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A woman gave an interview to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/video\/1556782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L.A. Fox News affiliate Fox 11<\/a> on Tuesday, admitting to the incident and saying she had been provoked by Taufiq and his wife. She asked not to be named by the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Taufiq feels sorry for her, he said, but doesn\u2019t feel by her responses that she is remorseful. He plans to start the process of pressing charges because he wants to make it clear that her behavior was not OK, he said. It\u2019s not clear whether the police will charge the woman with a crime.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__yAWZ0 styles_medium__OMa6x\"><picture class=\"styles_image__1qciH\" data-testid=\"picture\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/241203-Pervez-Taufiq-ch-1010-0c5632.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/241203-Pervez-Taufiq-ch-1010-0c5632.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/241203-Pervez-Taufiq-ch-1010-0c5632.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/241203-Pervez-Taufiq-ch-1010-0c5632.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/241203-Pervez-Taufiq-ch-1010-0c5632.jpg\" alt=\"Pervez Taufiq and his family.\" height=\"1665\" width=\"2500\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__Pe5JC\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">Pervez Taufiq, 50, and his family.
