Daniel Radcliffe comes to aid of man slashed in face by muggers
The 'Harry Potter' actor, along with some other pedestrians, reportedly stopped to help following the attack.
Los Angeles: 'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe came to the aid of a mugging victim in west London.
The 27-year-old actor was walking in the area on Friday when thieves on a moped slashed a tourist's face while attempting to steal his Louis Vuitton bag, according to The Evening Standard.
Radcliffe, along with some other pedestrians, reportedly stopped to help following the attack, reported People magazine.
A representative for the actor confirmed that he was at the scene, but declined to comment further, citing that "it's a police matter."
Metropolitan police released a statement, saying, "The victim, a man aged in his 50s, was walking in the road when two people riding a moped snatched his bag before riding off. The victim suffered a cut to the face during the incident."
Former police officer David Videcette told The Evening Standard he saw Radcliffe comforting the tourist.
"It was a bit of the surreal moment, I said 'you're Daniel Radcliffe' and he replied, 'I am.' He was a really nice bloke, a lot of stars wouldn't have stopped to help?," Videcette said.
