Police are searching for a pair of thugs who mugged a 16-year-old last week in Gravesend.

Authorities say the two men approached their victim just after noon on Thursday outside the Avenue U station on McDonald Avenue. They forced the teen to turn over his iPhone and then took off on foot, according to police.

The NYPD released surveillance photos of the suspects.
