When the man resisted, the two teens allegedly robbed him and ran off.

A 15 year old boy from Thornton, and a 16 year old boy from Blackpool were both later arrested on suspicion of robbery.

They remain in police custody.

A spokesman for Blackpool Police said that while the baton with nails in it had been reported to them as part of the crime, there was no word on whether it had yet been recovered.

The 21 year old victim is not thought to have been injured in the attack.
