Hoboken Breaking News Corner
4/28/2008:
Since it’s next to impossible for me to be awake 24 hours a day, I’ve created a new category today.
Breaking News Corner
This section will be reserved EXCLUSIVELY for “citizen reported” breaking news events, and can be utilized to discuss any important stories or incidents BEFORE (or IF) they get published as an entry on Hoboken411. Please comment in this section only for those types of incidents.
If the incident warrants it’s own story on 411, you can continue the conversation there (once I put it up). I’ll do my best to add the appropriate link(s) in the comment section here.
Do’s and Dont’s
Use this entry only for breaking news items such as:
- Fires
- Severe auto accidents (with injuries, or multiple cars, etc. – not minor fender benders)
- Flooding
- Building Collapses
- Injury/Death to prominent Hoboken figure (politician, celebrity, etc.)
- Water Main breaks
- Crimes (muggings, riots/big fights & brawls, shootings, etc.)
Do NOT use this section for:
- Political purposes (to quote another source, or mention some kind of press release or statement from a local pol)
- Rants and Raves (there are sections already for that)
- Anything not considered breaking news (stuff like “I almost got hit by a car” – you can put that in the rant section)
That’s it! Hopefully, there won’t be too many severe or disastrous items clogging up this category, but we all know it’s inevitable.
Have a great week everyone!
Hoboken NJ

more detail – he was followed from the 9th St. light rail and was held up near the high school field… then actually walked with the suspect (who ordered him to do so) towards 11th & grand (curling club) where the victim then phoned police.
Stolen was money, iPhone (with “Beats headphones”) and jewelry

Looks as if both the robber and the victim came from the Homeless Shelter on Bloomfield Street. The robber claimed the individual owed him money and forced him to withdraw from his account. The account had no money and the robber went back to the shelter and the victim walked across to the Police station and reported the crime. The robber was arrested at the shelter.
