The mum told the ECHO : "We were having a lovely brunch in the village until this fella just started shouting and wanting a fight. I'm not sure what happened but I think someone said something about his child.
"He got into his car and came back with something in his hand but I didn't see what it was. There were lots of children inside and they were evidently upset. It ruined our meal which is a shame because it's a lovely little café."
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "At around 11.30am today (Friday 13 August), we received a report of an altercation on Brow Lane, Formby.
"It was reported that two men were fighting and shouting at each other outside Geee’s Coffee.
"Patrols attended but the men had made off from the scene.
