Police are appealing for information following a street robbery on a teenager in Leeds.　

The 17-year-old male victim, was inside the grounds of the St John Church, in New Briggate, when he was approached by a man who took his Nokia phone. He then tried to take the victim's bag but he managed to break free. The incident happened at about 4 pm on Wednesday the 25th January.　

A passer-by tried to intervene but the suspect produced a small folding pocket knife and threatened him before making off.　

The offender was described as white, aged in his early to mid twenties, about 5ft 9 inches tall, medium build, with black hair and a pale complexion.
