Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were involved in a carjacking attempt by armed bikers in London on Thursday evening, July 26.
A video of the incident has been doing rounds on social media were it shows the brave defender fending off an attacker wielding a knife as the German footballer is on the wheel of his G-Wagon.
According to Daily Mail (UK),the Bosnian defender attempted to subdue one of the armed attackers before the two Premier League players and Ozil’s wife, Amine who was in the car, sped off.
They were pursued for over a mile by the armed thugs before the 30-year-old left his car and sought refuge inside a nearby Turkish restaurant he frequents.
Waiters and chefs from the Likya restaurant rushed to the aid of the football stars forcing the gang to flee the scene.
"As soon as the restaurant started to come to the window and to the doorway, they turned around and roared off," a witness told the British daily.
The North London club confirmed the incident in a statement and assured the public that both players were fine and had escaped from the ordeal uninjured.
The two Premier League stars were ambushed by the assailants on motorbikes in Platts Lane, near Golden Green.
"We have been in contact with both players and they are fine," Arsenal stated.
