ACT Policing said the 18-year-old victim was walking home along Clift Crescent when he was approached by a black Mazda 6 around 10.50pm.
The victim flagged down the vehicle to ask for a lift and answered his mobile as the car stopped.
While he was on the phone, the passenger of the vehicle reached out of the window and took the phone.
The driver drove away with the victim clinging to the passenger window frame for approximately 20 metres before letting go.
The people in the vehicle then left the area.
The passenger of the vehicle is described as Asian in appearance, with short dark hair. A significant portion of his left arm was covered in tattoos.
He was wearing a grey singlet.
The victim was transported to the Canberra Hospital where he received treatment for minor injuries.
Anyone who may be able to assist with the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers website on www.act.crimestoppers .com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
