A Hobokenite was allegedly robbed early Sunday morning after an unidentified man asked him for money in the street, according to police reports.

The incident occured in front of 400 Madison St. a little after 1 a.m. on Sunday, police said.

The 41-year-old Hoboken resident was sitting on a bench at Fourth and Madison St. when a man walked up to him and asked if he had some money to spare, police said.

The alleged thief took $42 from the Hobokenite, according to police.

No arrests were made.
