Arsenal players Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were left unharmed after being the targets of an attempted carjacking in London on Thursday, according to multiple reports in the UK.

Video posted on social media appears to show Kolasinac emerge from a stopped SUV and fend off an individual wearing a helmet circling the vehicle before it drives out of the picture.

Speaking to outlets in the UK, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police 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."

Arsenal told the BBC in a statement they have been in contact with the two players and that both are "fine."

No arrests have been made.
