Millionaire businessman Fawaz Al-Hawasi was pictured in bandages after being knifed as masked raiders burst into his Mayfair home.

The Kuwaiti businessman, 57, was reportedly in bed when the burglars forced entry into his mansion in an attempt to rob the former owner of Nottingham Forest.

Trying to defend himself after the gang broke into his bedroom he was knifed in the hand and suffered a neck injury aswell as scratches.

It is unclear whether they escaped with any jewellery or the luxury watches that Al-Hawasi flashes on social media.

His lawyers urged the Met Police to give more details around the suspects claiming that other visitors from the Arabian Gulf ‘fear facing similar incidents’.

Police said the ex-football mogul’s injuries were not life-threatening or life-changing and inquiries were continuing.

It came just weeks after superstar couple Maya Jama and Manchester City defender Ruben Dias were targetted by ‘away day burlars’ at their £4million mansion in Cheshire.

Both were away on the night of the ransack, with footballer Ruben, 28, playing an away game against Galatasaray and Maya, 31, in South Africa to film Love Island: All Stars.

The incident was reported by the Manchester City player upon his return home, where he found their valuables missing.

Mick Jagger’s fiancée Melanie Hamrick also revealed how she was ‘physically attacked’ by two men while on a night out in London.

She was grabbed from behind while at Annabel’s, a private members’ club, in what is thought to have been an opportunistic mugging attempt.

‘This is incredibly hard to share, but I was physically attacked at Annabel’s Mayfair tonight,’ the 38-year-old choreographer wrote on Instagram.

‘I’m so thankful to my friends for protecting me. Two people grabbed me from behind, and thank god for good people who stepped in to help me.’

Melanie added: ‘I’m shaken, sad and heartbroken that people can treat each other this way.’

She and Mick, 82, have been together since 2014, although it’s not thought the Rolling Stones legend was with her at the time of the attack.
