3 teens arrested after acid attack on 6 women in New Jersey
Police say the suspects used sulfuric acid in a drive-by attack that left all six victims with non-life-threatening burns.
- Three teenagers aged 13, 14, and 15 were charged on Wednesday, July 15 in connection with a drive-by acid attack on six women in Jersey City on June 15. The suspects face charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, causing bodily injury, and additional offenses.
- The attack occurred at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Wilkinson Avenue when suspects riding a moped splashed sulfuric acid at victims outside a home. Authorities determined the assault was targeted, stemming from an earlier dispute among a larger group, with police indicating victims were allegedly followed before the attack.
- All six victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries including skin burns and peeling; one 21-year-old woman was treated for second-degree burns to her face and scalp in a burn unit. Witnesses recalled one victim screaming, "It burns!" and a neighbor describing girls emerging with towels on their faces before ambulances arrived.
- Jersey City Mayor James Solomon directed police to use full resources on the investigation, stating officers will "work around the clock to find those responsible and bring them to justice." The case sparked community alarm due to both the use of sulfuric acid and the suspects' young ages.
- Detectives continue investigating how the suspects allegedly obtained sulfuric acid and whether additional individuals were involved in the attack. The three teenagers have not been convicted, with cases remaining before New Jersey courts as the investigation proceeds.
