Two teenagers have been arrested following an investigation into the alleged stabbing of a security guard in Adelaide's CBD on Friday, police say.

Police allege that a security guard was stabbed in the abdomen when he tried to stop four suspected thieves at a City Cross Arcade sports store, off of Rundle Mall, just before 5:30pm.

Police allege one male in the group stabbed the security guard and all four then ran off.

The security guard was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Following investigations, police say they have since charged a 14-year-old boy from O'Sullivan Beach with aggravated assault and a 15-year-old Flinders Park boy with aggravated affray.

Both boys have been refused bail and will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court on Monday.

Police say they are still searching for two other males.
