Amirs in hammer attack horror-(Car smashed up)

BOXER Amir Khan was left reeling after a hammer-wielding maniac smashed up his £50,000 car.
The stranger confronted Amir, 22, in the street when he was picking up a takeaway from a restaurant.

Khan, carving out an explosive professional career after winning an Olympic silver medal, tried to ignore him.

But the boxer and his pals were stunned when the man returned with a hammer and laid into his white Range Rover Sport — caving in the rear windscreen and two side windows.

Last night an onlooker said: “It was really weird. This guy went up to Amir in the street and started staring at him.

“Then he said, ‘So, you think you’re a boxer — what are you going to do?’

“There was a bit of scuffling between him and Amir’s mates, and then another guy stepped in and broke it up.

“But a few moments later the bloke who had been eyeballing Amir returned with a hammer and ran towards the Range Rover. Then he suddenly started smashing the windows. It was like this fella was crazy.

“But there was no way anyone was going to try and stop him because he was swinging this hammer about.

“It all happened so fast. Then this bloke just ran off.

“Amir and his friends were left totally shocked.”

Amir took the car for repairs to a dealer near his home in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

Police confirmed they had attended the bust-up at 4.15pm on Christmas Eve.


A spokesman said: “Detectives are investigating an incident where a man was punched in the face, and are aware of reports that a car had its windows smashed. Our inquiries are ongoing.”

Khan, who began boxing competitively aged 11, soared to fame after winning a silver medal when he was just 17 at the Athens Olympics in 2004.

He had his first professional defeat in September this year — a shock first-round stoppage — but got his career back on track on December 7 with a two-round knockout."

its a funny world we live in, i was walking back from work into town on christmas eve to do a bit of shopping, i witnessed a small adult guy assaulting someone over the head, until they were unconscious with a wooden baseball type/truncheon thing, the criminal was then pursued by a policeman in full uniform. there must have been maybe 50 people who witnessed this event, some of whom were young kids, it was all very disturbing. personally i did not want to get involved but it was quite a spectacle. It was at this point that a green crocodile ran away with some sausages.

:DDD Update on the story:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/ne ... 091754.ece
BOXER Amir Khan is to be quizzed by cops investigating a hammer attack on his car after a man claimed he was punched.

Ismail Atcha, 25, has complained to police after the pair were involved in a bust-up on Christmas Eve.

On Thursday The Sun told how three windows on Khan’s £50,000 Range Rover were smashed by a man with a hammer.

Now officers are understood to want a “full dialogue” with Olympic silver medallist Khan, 22.

Atcha claimed there had been “history" between the two since a road-rage row in Bolton, Gtr Manchester, six months ago.

He said: “He said to me, ‘Do you remember being cheeky?’ He came up to me in a flash and my legs went to jelly. I didn’t see it coming.

“Some lads intervened and that’s when his windows got smashed.”
