Man is robbed at knifepoint outside Bayonne convenience store

A 29-year-old man was robbed at knifepoint early Saturday morning after he walked out of a convenience store in Bayonne, authorities said.

The incident occurred at the 7-Eleven at 21st Street and Avenue C at 12:50 a.m., Bayonne Capt. Eric Amato said.

The victim told police he was approached from behind by a man with a knife who demanded the victim’s money. The victim attempted to flee, but fell to the ground, Amato said. The assailant kicked him and threaten to kill him if he didn’t turn over his cash.

The victim complied and the actor then fled.
