An 18-year-old man has been arrested following a robbery in York.
Just before 7pm on Monday 14 July, a member of the public reported seeing three male suspects assault a male victim on the path to St Barnabas Church, on Jubilee Terrace.
The three suspects ran off into a nearby housing estate with the victims rucksack, before throwing it into a garden.
Police responded immediately and arrested an 18-year-old man nearby on suspicion of robbery.
The teenage victim suffered a broken nose, along with cuts and bruises to his face.
The stolen rucksack was later spotted by another member of the public and has been returned to the victim.
