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