He demanded cash and pushed him back to the ground with his foot, the prosecutor said.
Passing motorist Edward Lawton intervened and got out of his vehicle while the robbery continued, said Mr Evans. Balde and another man ran off.
Mr Lawton followed in his car and invited the boy, who was shaking uncontrollably, to get in, the prosecutor said. He later rang police, who found Balde.
Balde was locked up for six months.
