Two Men Charged Over Carjacking Attack on Arsenal Duo Mesut Ozil & Sead Kolasinac

Two men have been charged with the attempted robbery of Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac after a high profile incident in North London back in July.

The Premier League footballers were targeted as they drove through the leafy suburb of Childs Hills in Ozil's Black Mercedes G-Class and were chased for a mile by knife-wielding attackers riding mopeds.

The Daily Mail has reported that Ashley Smith, 30, and Jordan Northover, 26 appeared in court today and have been charged with attempted robbery and threatening a person with an offensive weapon in a public place.
