The teenager was approached by two men while he was sitting on the side of the road on Power Street, making a phone call.
The offenders told the victim to hand over his mobile phone, police say.
One of the men went to grab the phone, trying unsuccessfully to pry it from the victim's hand. Police say the 18-year-old was assaulted, which resulted in his glasses being smashed and causing him minor injuries. Nearby onlookers came to help the victim.
No property was stolen.
Police say they have identified one of the offenders, but are still looking for the second, who is described as 173cm tall, with dark coloured skin, short dark hair, and ''young looking''.
