Three teen girls have been arrested after an acid attack in New Jersey left six women with sickening burns.
The group, including three teens, was in their car when they allegedly had sulfuric acid hurled on them by people on a moped in a cowardly drive-by attack in Jersey City, according to officials.
A female trio, aged 13, 14, and 15, is now accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing bodily injury, among other charges.
The incident appeared targeted and “may have stemmed from an earlier dispute among a large group,” the city’s Department of Public Safety told NBC News.
All six victims were rushed to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including “skin burns and peeling,” spokesperson Kim Wallace Scalcione told the outlet.
One of the victims, a 21-year-old, was “treated for second-degree burns to her face and scalp,” she added.
The arrests were announced Tuesday — almost a month after the shocking June 15 attack on Wilkinson Avenue.
However, the teens were arrested following the incident on June 16 and 17, Scalcione told The Post.
The investigation is ongoing.
