Hall County investigators say Shahada Hijah Diamond Hamad was arrested in Atlanta on Aug. 4 on a felony aggravated battery warrant. She was booked into the Hall County Jail, where she is being held without bond.
The charges stem from an incident that happened around 2:30 a.m. on June 14 at a QuikTrip convenience store near the intersection of Gainesville Highway and Lanier Islands Parkway.

According to investigators, the victim and three other women had traveled from Atlanta to Lake Lanier Islands for the day. Authorities said the victim was driving the group back to Atlanta when an argument broke out.
As tensions escalated, the victim pulled into the QuikTrip parking lot. Investigators allege two of the passengers, including Hamad, physically attacked the driver, breaking her arm during the altercation.
After the assault, deputies said the three women got back into the rental vehicle and left the scene, leaving the injured woman behind.
The victim was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton for treatment.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office said its Criminal Investigations Division took over the case. The investigation remains ongoing.
