Jamie O'Hara claims he had 'knife pulled on him' while talking to woman in shop

Former Premier League midfielder Jamie O'Hara claims he was caught up in a terrifying incident in which he had a knife pulled on him - only for the attacker to realise he was not the intended target.

The 36-year-old, who represented England at under-21 level, took to social media to recount the harrowing moment a man approached him from behind with a view to stabbing him. O'Hara was talking to a woman in a shop when he was almost attacked, but the would-be assailant discovered the former Tottenham, Wolves and Fulham star was not his target.

The talkSPORT pundit, who won the League Cup with Spurs in 2008, wrote on Twitter: "Just walked into a shop chatting to women on desk, guy comes up behind me goes to stab me."
