Last week, shocking surveillance footage from a New York street captured pedestrians fleeing from a knife-wielding man. Among those seen in the video was a prominent figure in the football world, later identified as former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner.
Details: Media outlets speculated that Bendtner might have been one of the potential victims in the alarming incident. The Danish footballer later confirmed his presence in the footage alongside his friends.
Quote: “Yes, I can confirm that it’s me in the video. Could I have been attacked? I have no comments on that. But I can confirm it’s me in the footage—such things are hard to avoid,” Bendtner stated, as reported by The Sun.
The victim, identified as a former Danish national team player, sustained facial and ear injuries and required hospitalization.
