Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were attacked yesterday and were victims of an attempted carjacking.
The players were on their way back with Ozil’s wife also in the car. They were stopped in the middle but it was sad for the criminals as Kolasinac got down from the car and chased them down while Ozil drove the car to safety to call for help.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police read: “Police were called to Platts Lane, NW3, shortly before 17.00hrs on Thursday, 25 July to reports of an attempted robbery.
“It was reported that suspects on motorbikes had attempted to rob a man who was driving a car.”
“The driver, along with his passenger, managed to get away unharmed and travelled to a restaurant in Golders Green, where they were spoken to by officers.
“There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue.”
Arsenal also released a club statement confirming the safety of both the players. It read, “We have been in contact with both players and they are fine.”
A heart in the mouth moment for football fans and in general any well wisher of the society to watch innocent men get attacked but everything is safe for the moment.
