A TEENAGER was threatened with a flick-knife and robbed of his phone in a subway before being assaulted.

The 19-year-old man was walking under the College Road roundabout in Rotherham when he was approached by four men.

They demanded he hand over his iPhone and AirPod earphones and headed back towards the town centre at 11.45pm on August 29.
