Cops are looking for two suspects who assaulted an 18-year-old man in Flushing before stealing his iPhone on March 15.
Police said the two men approached the teen from behind just before 6 a.m. at 136-17 39th Ave. and hit him in the back of the head with an unknown object.

The teen sustained lacerations to the top of his head, but refused medical attention at the scene, cops said.
