Man robbed in Hoboken train station men’s room

HOBOKEN–That really wasn’t a gun in his pocket after all.
According to the local daily newspaper, five men were arrested after a man was robbed Monday afternoon in the men’s room of the historic Hoboken train station.
The man told police what the alleged robbers looked like. Around an hour later, Port Authority police arrested four suspects in the World Trade Center PATH station.
The Jersey Journal writes, “An official said the men arrested were all about 18 to 20 years old and had used a fake gun to perform the hold-up. Officials could not immediately say what was stolen, whether it was recovered or give any details about the victim.”
