One woman, who was ‘very concerned’ when the incident unfolded about 9am, reportedly contacted security five times.
Another woman said she had told the girl before she entered the cafe not to take the replica rifle into the hospital as people were scared.
Police were contacted and later tracked-down the girl and her mother outside the hospital.
After speaking to them, officers confirmed it was a toy gun, which is not illegal to possess.
