The youngster was confronted at the Heaton Park Metrolink station in Bury Old Road.

The muggers were both aged about 15. One was 5ft 5ins tall, of medium build and wearing a blue jacket, with red patches on the upper arms, and a black woolly hat with ear flaps dangling down to his chin.

There was no description for the second thug.
