COBBLE HILL — Two teenagers were arrested Thursday night after snatching an iPhone from a woman in the neighborhood, police said.

The two unidentified young men, ages 19 and 16, pushed the 38-year-old victim on the ground at Henry and Warren streets about 9 p.m. and took her $300 cellphone, police said.  

Police were able to find the teens and recover the iPhone later that night at Atlantic Avenue and Hicks Streets — five blocks from where the robbery occurred, police said.

The victim, who suffered pain in her left knee, was able to identify the teens, but police could not immediately provide that information.
