TWO Malvern youngsters have been robbed in separate incidents in the town.

The youth was hit in the face and pushed into a hedge before his mobile phone was stolen.

The second incident happened at Chase Alley, in Court Road, at around 4.55pm on Sunday.

Two men, thought to be between 18 and 19 years, threatened a youngster with a pocket knife before taking his grey Huffy BMX bike and heading in the direction of The Chase school.

One of the thieves was described as white, with a silver coat and grey trainers. The other was said to be black and wearing black clothing.
