Nursing mum thwarts thief at Sydney cafe

A man has tried to snatch a woman's mobile phone while she was breastfeeding at a Sydney cafe.

Police say the 32-year-old mother was nursing her baby daughter at an outdoor table of a cafe at Burwood Road in Belmore on Saturday afternoon when a man tried to grab her phone from the table.

His efforts were thwarted when the mum grabbed his arm, forcing him to drop the phone and flee after a short struggle.

A glass dropped from the table as the pair grappled, cutting the woman's foot. The baby was uninjured.

Police are looking for an Asian man with a shaved head and tattooed neck.
