A BRAVE mum-of-three fended off a robber who tried to steal her mobile phone in Failsworth.
She was pushing a pram while texting and walking with her children along Hale Lane at around 4.30pm on Friday when a man demanded her mobile.
When she refused he threatened her and tried to snatch it. She started screaming and rammed her pram into the man’s legs to fend him off. He ran away empty handed.
The attacker was white, in his early 20s, about 5ft 7in tall and skinny. He had crooked teeth and was wearing a dark hooded top and light-coloured tracksuit bottoms.
Anyone with any information about the incident can call police on 0161 856 9577.
