Hero Arsenal star Sead Kolasinac swung a right hook at one of the masked moped gang in dramatic new footage today.
Extended CCTV taken from outside Kolasinac’s luxury home shows the footballer bravely tackling the thug after it was revealed HE was the target of the audacious robbery.
It has been thought that the gang were attempting to hijack Ozil’s luxury Mercedes motor.
But Mirror.co.uk can exclusively reveal that the gang were trying to steal Kolasinac’s expensive watch.
Restaurant owner Yasmin Tahsiner has originally said that both players’ wife’s were in the car at the time of the incident but it has been revealed that just Ozil’s partner was in the vehicle.
A friend of Kolasinac’s told Mirror.co.uk that Ozil and his wife were outside the Bosnian's house and they noticed a moped going up and down scouting the area.
Ozil was in the driver’s seat chatting to Kolasinac outside the car when the thieves struck ordering Sead to hand over his watch.
The friend said: “One of the men pointed at Sead with a large metal pole and said ‘give me your watch’.”
Kolasinac then bravely fought back landing a punch on one of his attackers.
Speaking earlier about the incident, Ms Tahsimer said: “He called me while they were being chased and said ‘come out, call the police please’.
"When they were chasing Ozil’s car they were throwing big bricks at it and using a Long metal pole. They damaged the car. The wives were inside and were frightened and scared.
"We didn’t at first of all understand what was happening, then we saw the motorbike passing and realised it was serious.
"They has been chased for about 5/10mins around Golders Green and Hampstead. It was frightening. They were throwing bricks at the car and had. A big metal pole.
"It happened outside Sead’s house. He tried to defend himself. It was scary."
"Incredibly, despite what the players went through, Yasmin said they were very calm explaining:
“They weren’t shaken. They were fine. Sead is a hero."
Kolasniac has since taken to social media to confirm both he and Ozil are OK.
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.
Further footage obtained by Mirror.co.uk on Friday shows the dramatic chase moments after brave Kolasinac fought off two thugs in the suspected carjacking.
CCTV shows the gang seconds after they overtook Ozil - perhaps in a bid to force them to stop.
One eyewitness said the masked moped muggers tried to throw roof tiles at his £100,000 G-Wagon.
The moped can be seen at 4.58pm, and moments later Ozil's car passes.
