Michael McIntyre 'fine' after being attacked by moped thugs

Michael McIntyre was robbed by moped thugs in London yesterday. 

The comedian was reportedly sitting in his stationary Range Rover, outside the school of his children, when two males smashed his car window with a hammer and forced McIntyre to hand over a watch.

Afterwards, publicist Gary Farrow told the BBC the 42-year-old was “fine” after the incident in north west London.

Police said they were called just before 2pm on Monday, June 4 as reports came in of a robbery and have asked anyone with information to contact them.
