About 6.10am Thursday, a woman was running along Myola Court, Coombabah when she was approached by a man on a bicycle.
Police will allege the man produced a handgun and demanded the woman's mobile phone.
The woman provided the man her phone but asked to keep her SIM card.
The man returned the SIM card and left only with her phone, riding away on his bicycle.
Police investigating the incident conducted a search at an address and located the man and the stolen phone.
Police also located a toy gun which was of similar appearance to that used by the offender during the robbery.
The Coombabah man was charged with armed robbery and threats and will appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on Friday morning.
