A video of Saed Kolasinac’s act of bravery has begun to circulate online, following an attack on him and Mezut Ozil.
The two Arsenal player had stepped in Ozil’s Mercedez Benz in London when they suddenly noticed they were being tailed by thugs who were alleged to have been car hijackers.
But despite holding knives in the attack, Kolasinac jumped out of the car and charged towards the attackers without having any weapon to defend himself.
Although the attackers were not successful, the players abandoned the vehicle and took cover in a Turkish restaurant after some time.
Following the release of a clip, many individuals have since been hailing the Bosnian man for his actions.
While explaining the incident to MailOnline, a financial worker who saw Mezut Ozil immediately after the attack, said, “His car was standing there empty in the middle of the road with its door hanging open. It is very distinctive, with gold trim.
“Ozil looked absolutely terrified, as anybody would after being chased by men with knives. He looked like he was running for his life. And I suppose he was.
“I saw him disappear into the restaurant with the motorcycle guys on his tail. They didn’t take off their helmets and were all in black, wearing long-sleeved tops in this hot weather. They stood out. It was really creepy.
“God knows what would have happened if they’d caught him. It looked to me like he’d have been hacked to shreds and he clearly thought so too.
“As soon as the restaurant staff started to come to the window and to the doorway, they turned around and roared off. The police were there shortly afterward and the road was almost blocked off.’
“It was totally surreal, just surreal and strange. You don’t expect something like that to happen at any time, particularly the mid-afternoon.”
