Woman robbed while using Sydney ATM

A man has been charged after a woman was robbed while using an ATM in Sydney's inner city last night.

The 39-year-old woman was using the machine just after 8pm on Macleay Street, Potts Point, when a man allegedly grabbed her money before taking off.

An off-duty police officer saw what allegedly happened, and chased the man down Macleay Street, notifying police from nearby Kings Cross.

More officers arrived on scene and arrested a 43-year-old man.

He was charged with larceny and refused bail to appear in court today.
