Daniel Radcliffe Helps Terrified Mugging Victim After Knife Attack

It was either the worst day or the best day ever for one mugging victim in London last week, who was robbed and attacked with a knife in the street, only for Daniel Radcliffe to show up on the scene and offer some words of comfort.

The 27-year-old 'Harry Potter' star was seen sitting with the shaken victim, who was a tourist in London for a few days, following the vicious attack which took place off King's Road in Chelsea on Friday night (July 14th 2017). A representative for the actor confirmed his actions, though declined to comment further.

A witness named David Videcette, who was driving when he saw the assailants acting suspiciously on their mopeds, described how they pulled out a knife, slashed their victim in the face and made off with his Louis Vuitton bag.

'I decided to call the police and told them they needed to come and have a look', he told the Evening Standard. 'No sooner than I was on the phone to them that I saw one of them reaching for something in his waistband. I realised they were getting ready to do something. I cruised behind them in my car and they darted down a side street. I'm still on the phone to the police.

'Then one of them gets off and attacks a man with an expensive looking Louis Vuitton bag on the pavement. They grappled with him on the pavement. He wasn't going to give up the bag willingly. I tried to ram the bike with my car but I wasn't able to. They slashed him in the face with the knife and made off down the King's Road. I tried to follow them but I lost them as they were jumping red lights.'

In regards to Daniel Radcliffe's actions, there were few things Videcette could think to say to the actor. 'It was a bit of the surreal moment, I said 'you're Daniel Radcliffe' and he replied 'I am'', he recalled. 'He was a really nice bloke, a lot of stars wouldn't have stopped to help. The victim was very, very shaken up.'
