Hoboken police have made two arrests in connection with an attack on a woman who was pepper-sprayed and robbed two weeks ago on Bloomfield Street, police said.

Malachi Belton, 19, and Ajaras Clarke, 20, both of Plainfield, were charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. Belton was additionally charged with possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and endangering an injured victim.

On Jan. 15, a woman was walking on Bloomfield Avenue just after 9 p.m. when she was ambushed from behind by two men, and one of them spraying her face with a chemical irritant. The two men grabbed her backpack and left the woman bleeding from her head.
