London: Mezut Ozil has opened up about being at the centre of an attempted car-jacking, saying he feared for his wife's safety during the terrifying ordeal in London.

The Arsenal midfielder, his wife Amine and teammate Sead Kolasinac were all caught up in the incident on July 25, two weeks before the start of the Premier League season. Footage on social media showed Bosnian defender Kolasinac chasing off two moped attackers who were wearing helmets and dark clothing.
