A toddler was burnt on the face after a cup of coffee was thrown at her at a branch of McDonalds.

The two-year-old was injured when she was taken into the restaurant in Great Yarmouth town centre with her mum.

The mother, 22, became involved in a verbal argument with another woman, who threw the cup of coffee at her daughter.

The youngster suffered a minor burn to her forehead.
