A spokesperson for the force said: “The two men are alleged to have stolen a gold bracelet from the 18-year-old victim, who sustained minor injuries during the incident.
“After initial enquiries were made, Platt resisted arrest resulting in an officer sustaining a hand injury that required medical assistance.”
After further questioning, both men were charged with robbery and Platt is facing additional charges of intentional strangulation and the assault of an emergency worker.
Platt has since been remanded into custody, while Simon Winterburn has been released on conditional bail with the pair set to appear at York Crown Court on Monday, May 4.
