NYPD said: "Frankie was walking down an NYC street last week ... when he got punched in the back of the head. A few hours after the attack. a 17-year-old and 13-year-old attempted to use one of Frankie's credit cards at a nearby smoke shop."

According to reports, the teenagers were found by police at the store and arrested at the scene on charges of assault, robbery, grand larceny, and other crimes."

The attack comes almost five months after Ariana's stalker broke into her house on her birthday.

The Thank U, Next' hitmaker wasn't at her pad in Montecito, California, in June, when Aharon Brown allegedly violated his restraining order by somehow gaining access to her property, triggering security alarms.

Police arrived at the house and arrested the man, and he was arraigned on charges of stalking, burglary, damaging power lines, violation of a court order, and obstruction.
