In practice, if the phone is in your hand, the plod doesn't have to search you, he just has to ask you nicely to move away from the area for you own safety in the usual way, i.e. push you hard enough to make you drop your phone. Once it's on the floor (and quite likely you are too), the phone is just an abandoned piece of property in the street which he can pick up for safe keeping 😐
