Bundaberg Police have charged a boy after a tourist was allegedly robbed at knifepoint in Bundaberg North last night, Queensland Police say.

It will be alleged a 26-year-old woman was walking along Perry Street around 11.15pm when she noticed two male teenagers following close behind her.

She crossed the road onto Station Street when one of the youths allegedly rode in front of her on a scooter, produced a knife and grabbed her wrist, demanding she hand over her mobile phone.
