A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after a violent robbery at an Auckland train station on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Police say a man was followed off a bus arriving at the New Lynn train station by a group of young people.<\/p>\n
It’s alleged two of the group assaulted him and took the watch he was wearing, then fled on foot.<\/p>\n
The victim was taken to hospital but didn’t have any serious injuries.<\/p>\n
Detective Senior Sergeant Josh Lautogo, from Waitemat\u0101 CIB, said a police dog was brought in to try to track the group.<\/p>\n
“This was a cowardly assault and the violent behaviour exhibited last night will not be tolerated,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Ambulance transported the victim to Wait\u0101kere Hospital for observations, but he did not suffer serious physical injuries.”<\/p>\n
A 16-year-old has been arrested and police are still trying to find a second person.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information is asked to call 105, using the reference number 250806\/9635.<\/p>\n
