The incident occurred at the Hilden train stop in Lisburn.

The PSNI located the two suspects a while later at an address in Belfast where they were arrested and taken into custody.

"So you get off the train at a halt in Lisburn and you’re thinking of your dinner, maybe what’s going to be your evening viewing on the TV when all off a sudden you’re confronted by two intoxicated males brandishing weapons and robbing you off your watch and phone," wrote the PSNI on social media.

"That is exactly what happened to a guy yesterday afternoon which kicked off a hunt for the two suspects that lead the team to house searches and later a trip into Belfast where, assisted by our Belfast colleagues, they were located, arrested and brought to custody.
