The women were splashed with sulfuric acid on June 15 when people on a moped targeted them in their car as they drove by, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll six victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries that included skin burns and peeling,\u201d said Kim Wallace Scalcione, a spokesperson for the Jersey City Public Safety Department.<\/p>\n

Three teens, 13, 14 and 15 years old, were arrested, Scalcione said, without saying when. <\/p>\n

They each are accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing bodily injury and additional crimes. <\/p>\n

The Public Safety Department said the incident appears to have been targeted and \u201cmay have stemmed from an earlier dispute among a large group.\u201d<\/p>\n

It previously said five women were injured<\/a> but clarified in an update that there are six victims, including three teens.<\/p>\n

One of the victims, a 21-year-old woman, was taken to a burn unit last month \u201cto be treated for second-degree burns to her face and scalp,\u201d Scalcione said.<\/p>\n

The investigation continues, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three teenagers have been arrested in connection with an acid attack on six women in Jersey City, New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":763874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-763873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/763874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
