Last night, Harry Styles delivered both an incredible performance and served some iconic red carpet looks at the BRIT Awards. However, just a few days earlier on 14 February, it's reported that the One Direction star was held at knifepoint and mugged while on a night out in London.

It's said that the 26-year-old musician was near a pub on Spaniards Road, Hampstead, when the incident occurred. Thankfully, he wasn't harmed during the surprise attack, but it's said that he was left shaken up afterwards.

A source told The Mirror that despite the mugger wielding a blade, Harry managed to remain calm throughout. "He actually played it pretty cool, quickly giving the assailant cash, keeping himself and the guy calm and getting the situation over with. Understandably though it left him very shaken up afterwards."

The MET Police confirmed that a similar sounding incident did happen in the area, but of course, could not name anybody involved. "Officers were contacted on Saturday, 15 February regarding the incident which happened at 23.50hrs on Friday, 14 February. It was reported that a man in his 20s was approached by another man and threatened him with a knife."

They also confirmed that the victim in this attack wasn't hurt, by saying, "The victim was not injured; however, cash was taken from him. No arrests [were made] and enquiries are ongoing."

We hope Harry is recovering well from that scary-sounding run-in, if indeed it was him involved.
