The incident happened at 2.55pm on Wednesday in Mile Cross Lane as the teenager was using a pedestrian crossing.
He was approached by two young men who revealed they had a knife and demanded he hand over his belongings.
The teenager then fled on foot and the men followed him.
He was able to lose the pursuers but was severely shaken.
According to the boy's mother, he was able to get a "good description" of the men and has since filed a police report.
