The two passers-by intervened, helping the victim who suffered a broken cheek bone.
He was treated at the Royal Sussex County HospitalE inastern Road, Brighton, where he had stitching to his eye.
A 19-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of robbery.
He has been bailed until 16 November pending further inquiries.
