Police will allege the man, 18, used a knife to rob a 15-year-old boy near Spinners Way at Bulli, about 8.30pm Thursday.
The pair had earlier met on a train.
The man allegedly stole the teen’s wallet, mobile phone and hat before punching him in the mouth and head.
The man left the scene, but the teen encountered him again a short time later along a bush path.
The man allegedly told the teen to run, then chased him along the path.
The teen was able to run home and alert his parents who contacted Wollongong Police.
Officers executed a search warrant at a home in Towradgi about 9am Tuesday. They seized several items allegedly connected to the incident.
An 18-year-old man was arrested shortly afterwards when he returned to the home.
He was taken to Wollongong Police Station where he was charged with aggravated robbery.
The man was refused bail and appeared before Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday. He will re-appear today.
