In a hilarious turn of events, a mugger in Central Park, New York City, refused to steal his victim's flip phone because it was too old-fashioned for him.

Kevin Cook told the New York Post that once the robber saw his flip phone, he looked at it like, 'what the f**k is this?' and gave it back to him.

The Brooklyn-resident, 25, who was mugged while walking with a pal, found the situation humorous because the robber thought he could get anything for the mobile.

Cook added that the unidentified mugger was armed and had an accomplice, both of whom ran before cops could catch up to them.
