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.
