LYNDHURST — A man with a handgun stopped the sale of two Super Bowl tickets Saturday night to steal them for himself, police said.

A woman who called police at about 10 p.m. said she had advertised on Facebook and Instagram to sell the tickets and tailgate parking passes, Lyndhurst Police Chief James B. O'Connor said.

A man she knows came to her Page Avenue apartment Saturday night to buy the tickets. But while he was there, another man came in waving a handgun, O'Connor said.

He took the tickets, parking passes and $1,200 from the man who bought them, O'Connor said. No one was injured, and no shots were fired.

Lyndhurst Police have contacted State Police at the Meadowlands about the stolen tickets, O'Connor said. If someone shows up with them, police will stop them.

"At a minimum, they'll get interviewed," O'Connor said.
