An elderly nun is recovering in hospital after an attempted robbery in Sydney's CBD.
Police say the 77-year-old Catholic nun was withdrawing cash from an ATM in downtown Sydney at around 1:00pm yesterday (local time).
A 49-year-old woman followed her a short distance before grabbing her and attempting to steal her purse.
The elderly woman fell to the ground during the struggle and hit her head on a wall.
Officers say bystanders intervened and the attacker was arrested.
The nun was taken to St Vincent's hospital with head injuries.
The 49-year-old has been refused bail and will face Parramatta Local Court today.
