► Two teens were arrested after stealing a cell phone from a cab driver, police said.
The victim told police that he picked up four teenage boys on Myrtle Avenue and Washington Park and drove them to 287 Myrtle Ave. on Aug. 27 around 10 p.m.
When the car stopped, one teen jumped out and punched the driver in the face through the open driver's side window while the teen in the passenger seat grabbed the cab driver's cell phone from the center console, according to police.
All four men then fled without paying, police said.
Two teenagers, ages 15 and 17, whose names DNAinfo is withholding due to their age, were arrested in connection with the crime two days later on Aug. 29.
They were charged with robbery, assault and harassment, police said.
