A 39-year-old mother was mugged while breast-feeding her infant in a leafy upper Manhattan park but the actress said the incident will not scare her into moving out of the city.
Elena Sobinas 6-month-old daughter, Kelly, had just fallen asleep after nursing and she was as relaxed as could be when she felt somebody standing behind her around 5:30 p.m. Friday in an observation area of Fort Tryon Park.

She said it was difficult to remember exactly what happened next, but she and her baby were thrown to the ground.

Thats when the attacker, later identified as Juan Garcia, 31, took her bag and ran away. Sobina put the baby back in her stroller and ran in the same direction, stopping to tell her tale to a good Samaritan who called 911.
Police were able to find Garcia by tracking Sobinas iPhone. He was charged with robbery, criminal possession of stolen property and acting in a manner injurious to a child. He was charged with possession of stolen property and criminal trespass in 2013.
