Comedian Michael McIntyre ‘fine’ after being robbed by moped thugs

Comedian Michael McIntyre is doing “fine”, his wife has said, after he was robbed by a gang of hammer-wielding thieves on mopeds.

Kitty McIntyre said the comic was OK as she left their house in north-west London with one of the couple’s children on Tuesday morning.

When asked if the couple were concerned about the family’s safety, she replied: “No.”

McIntyre, 42, was robbed by two men while he waited to pick up his children from school on Monday.

The windows of his Range Rover were smashed during the attack in Golders Green in north London, and he was reportedly forced to hand over a Rolex watch.

Witnesses reported that the comedian tried to comfort his shaken sons in the aftermath of the attack.

One onlooker told the Daily Mail: “The guy at the front of the moped started to hit the driver’s window about 10 to 15 times and it eventually just cracked.

“He opens the door and gets Michael McIntyre out of the car. Michael fell but he was still trying to put up a fight.

“I just remember one of the bikers trying to get something. I don’t know what the guy was trying to get – a watch, a wallet, maybe?”

The Met Police said they were called to North End Road just before 2pm on Monday.

The force said in a statement: “The victim was stationary in his car when two males on a moped smashed the car windows with a hammer before stealing property.

“No injuries were reported.”

McIntyre’s agent told the Sun: “Michael was involved in an incident involving armed robbers.

“He is absolutely fine and helping police with their inquiries.”

Investigators said no arrests have been made and inquiries were continuing.
