A member of the public witnessed this and officers are keen to speak to the man to help with the investigation.
Case Building Officer Daniel Davies from the force’s Prisoner Handling Team said: “The man showed courage to come over to the incident, which could have seen him verbally or possibly physically assaulted.
“We believe this man would have seen the robbery take place and that’s why we want to speak to him.
“Thankfully the victim suffered no injury, but his phone was thrown on the floor and damaged.
“The victim described the man as white, in his late 20s, medium build, approximately 5’8” tall, with black bushy hair and wearing a black coat, jeans and trainers.
