The victim was then assaulted and robbed of his cellphone before escaping to a nearby construction site.
Responding officers found the suspect, who was with a man.
He assaulted two officers before fleeing on foot, investigators allege.
But the canine unit tracked him down and both suspects were handcuffed.
The victim has minor injuries and his phone was found by police.
