Police are investigating after a man was allegedly robbed by a person he met on popular gay dating app Grindr.
It is unknown when the incident occurred but it is believed a weapon may have been used. It is now being investigated by Auckland City police.
Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Newman of Auckland City Police said the incident "appears linked to a connection made between parties through the social network app, Grindr", GayNZ.com reported.
The attack is one in a spate of assaults and robberies of gay men, many of which were carried out early last year.
In March 2015 one man was behind a string of violent robberies of men he targeted through the dating app.
