One minor has been arrested in connection to Monday attack that Jersey City police said ‘appears to be targeted’

Six people in New Jersey were injured in an acid attack involving suspects on a moped.

Jersey City police responded to reports that two suspects riding a moped drove past a group and threw an acidic substance at them on Monday evening, initially injuring five people.

Group G hotted up in earnest with presumptive frontrunners Belgium and Egypt opening their World Cup campaigns with a credible draw. A crowd of 66,775 watched on under the intense sun of the early North American summer, in a contest which warranted the contentious cooling breaks that have been universally adopted for this tournament.

The group’s headline clash was slated as a noon affair under a heat advisory in Seattle, with on-field temperatures of 30C (86F) and high, hazy clouds at kick-off. There was scarcely an empty seat to be found, forming a sea of red and white owing to the teams’ similar colours.
