Arsenal star Gabriel fights off baseball bat-wielding robber

Premier League star Gabriel fought off a baseball bat-wielding man attempting to steal his car.

The Arsenal defender was followed into his home in Barnet, north London, by three men on 20 August who demanded he hand over his car keys.

Footage of the incident shows Gabriel struggling with a baseball bat-wielding man, later identified as Abdi Muse.

Muse, 26, was sentenced to five years in jail for robbery at Harrow Crown Court on 17 November.

After a struggle, the men fled with Gabriel's keys but left the car behind in the garage.
