E! News has learned that the 26-year-old “Fine Line” singer was robbed while out in the Hampstead area of London on Friday night. According to the Mirror Online, Styles was approached by a man with a knife who “demanded cash.”
“He actually played it pretty cool, quickly giving the assailant cash, keeping himself and the guy calm and getting the situation over with,” a source told the outlet. “Understandably though it left him very shaken up afterwards.”
The Metropolitan Police tell E! News that they’re investigating reports of a knife point robbery in Spaniards Road, Hampstead.
“Officers were contacted on Saturday, 15 February regarding the incident which happened at 23.50hrs on Friday, 14 February,” the police state. “It was reported that a man in his 20s was approached by another man and threatened him with a knife. The victim was not injured however, cash was taken from him.”
According to the police, no arrests have been made and inquiries are ongoing.
Despite the incident, Styles appears to be in good spirits today, as he’s just walked the red carpet at the 2020 BRIT Awards. The One Direction star is up for British Male Solo Artist and British Album of the Year at the ceremony, which is being held at The 02 Arena in London.
Styles, who is also set to take the stage to perform at the award show on Tuesday night, has yet to publicly address the robbery.
