Two Jersey City men were arrested on robbery charges moments after dragging a man into an alley at knifepoint and stealing his coat late Monday night, officials said today.

Angel Bonilla, 19, of Kearney and West Side avenues, and Wilfredo Rivera, 20, of Sip and Romaine avenues, were arrested on Clendenny Avenue at about 11:45 p.m. and charged with robbery, reports said.

The 25-year-old victim told police he was walking at Clendenny and West Side with a friend when a man pulled a knife on him and a second man grabbed him from behind and pulled him into an alley, reports said.

They took his NorthFace jacket, $72 in cash, and his house keys before walking away, reports said.

But the victim’s friend, who moved away when the robbers approached, called police and gave them descriptions, reports said.

A responding officer spotted Bonilla and Rivera a few doors away and brought them to the scene of the crime, where the victim identified them as his attackers, reports said.
