‘I was terrified’: Union J’s Josh Cuthbert revealed he was attacked by three men who threatened to kill him as he walked home in London on Saturday night
He explained: “I was driving down a dual carriageway (it was completely empty), I was the only car and all of a sudden two big Harley Davidson motorcycles came up behind me.
“One of them went straight into my lane and swerved his bike sideways at me, I had to do an emergency stop to avoid hitting him. Then the other bike came behind me and stopped their bike right behind my car, at that point my parking sensors went crazy and I couldn’t move the car at all, I was pinned.
“Then two of the guys got off their bikes and one came up to my driver’s window and one came up to the front passenger window and they were yelling ‘Get the hell out of the car, get out of the car now’ over and over again.
I then yelled back that I wasn’t going to get out of the car. They then got even angrier / more aggressive and the guy on the right started hitting my car window numerous times (how the glass didn’t break I have no idea) trying to get me out of the car….’

Josh continued: “They were in full cycling gear, helmets (with visors off), padded gloves etc. So I couldn’t see them, which I think made it that much scarier and scarier.
“The man in front of the passenger window was banging his head on the glass to try and break it, but luckily he had no luck either. One of them said if I didn’t get out of the car they would kill me (that was fun).
“It was so terrifying to be honest, I was trapped and I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even find my phone to call the police because all my stuff was flying everywhere after I crashed at the beginning of the attack.
“Luckily, about a minute later, other cars started coming, then they got on their bikes and left. Just as they left, they broke my mirror in anger.
