A teenager was punched, kicked and threatened with a knife before having his mobile phone stolen near a subway in Telford, police said.
The 17-year-old was thrown to the ground by two older teenagers who attacked him as he was walking with a 16-year-old friend along Holyhead Road, on the subway near Bennetts Bank, at around 7.50pm yesterday.
Police said the 16-year-old was also punched but managed to get away. Police spokeswoman Denise Wakefield said: “The 17-year-old was held to the ground.
“Offenders asked him for his personal possessions and stole his BlackBerry Curve mobile phone.”
The 17-year-old suffered cuts, bruises and swelling to his face.
