Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were the subject of an attempted car hijacking by two knife-wielding thieves on Thursday, but emerged unscathed largely due to Kolasinac's bravery.
As per the Daily Mail, 2014 FIFA World Cup winner Ozil was driving his Mercedes-Benz G-Class when two knife-wielding robbers tried to stage an ambush on him and his teammate Kolasinac.
It has been claimed that the left-back, without hesitation, got out of the vehicle and tried to chase the hijackers away from the Ozil's car.
