FINANCIAL DISTRICT — A teenager riding the A train was knocked unconscious by two robbers who stole his wallet, police said.

The 19-year-old told police that a man grabbed his wallet out of his pants pocket as the northbound train headed into the Fulton Street station just after midnight on Feb. 1.

When the victim confronted the thief, the man put a knife to the teen's neck, police said. A second suspect then grabbed his neck and punched him in the head, knocking him out, police said.

The teen eventually came to at the 190th Street station, with his wallet — which contained $160 — missing, the NYPD said.

Police were still investigating the incident.
