Police arrested two suspects in connection with an armed robbery at Dolores Park on Wednesday night, police said.
A 39-year-old woman was sitting at a park bench when an 18-year-old male suspect approached her and put a knife next to her. A second male suspect, 17, approached the victim and demanded her cellphone, which she gave to them.
The suspects fled on foot but were later detained and arrested. Police responded to the incident at 9:10 p.m.
