Investigators say one of the assailants demanded that one of the victims hand over his pants, however, the two fled the scene without the trousers.

A 26-year-old man was arrested in the area a short time later and is due in court, but the second suspect remains at large.

Paramedics treated the two victims for minor injuries.
