Sead Kolasinac has broken his silence after the Arsenal defender bravely challenged a knife-wielding moped gang that seemingly tried to steal Mesut Ozil’s car.
Unbelievable footage on Thursday evening showed Kolasinac leaping out of Ozil’s car in an attempt to fight off the attackers.
One man waved a knife at him while another, wearing a helmet, was chased away by the Bosnian.
And now Kolasinac has taken to social media to speak out on the incident.
He wrote: “Think we’re fine.”
The post was accompanied by a picture of Kolasinac and Ozil smiling on their recent trip to the US for Arsenal ’s pre-season tour.
An Arsenal spokesperson said: “We have been in contact with both players and they are fine.”
Kolasinac and midfielder Ozil are not the first London-based footballers to be targeted on the road.
In 2016, then West Ham striker Andy Carroll was threatened at gunpoint on his way home from training.
Police, who had received reports of an attempted robbery, went to Platts Lane, in north west London, shortly before 5pm, according to Scotland Yard.

A spokesman said: “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.”
The spokesman said there have been no arrests and officers are still investigating the incident.
