The 18-year-old victim received head injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Police arrested the suspect who they allege was armed with a knife.

The Rostrevor man was charged with aggravated robbery, assault police and illegal interference.  He was refused bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today.
