Millionaire ex-Premier League membership proprietor is stabbed whereas confronting masked intruders who tried to rob his £10million mansion
Millionaire mogul Fawaz Al-Hasawi was reportedly stabbed while confronting masked robbers who broke into his home earlier this month.
The 57-year-old former Nottingham Forest owner saw his £10million property in Mayfair, central London, targeted by thieves.
Al-Hasawi was sleeping when the thugs burst into his room, according to The Sun, and was left with stab wounds on his neck and hands after attempting to fight them off.
It is currently unclear whether the robbers fled the property with any valuables.
The businessman’s lawyers have pleaded with the Metropolitan Police to give them more details about the attack, claiming a number of visitors from the Arabian Gulf are ‘fearing’ similar incidents.
The Kuwaiti mogul did not suffer life-threatening or life-changing injuries, the police said.
Al-Hasawi purchased Forest from Nigel Doughty in 2012 and spent five years at the helm before selling up to current owner Evangelos Marinakis in May 2017.
The burglary comes amid a growing trend of footballers seeing their homes targeted while they are away on duty.

It comes just a couple of weeks after Maya Jama and Ruben Dias saw their Cheshire mansion burgled
Only two weeks ago, Manchester City centre-back Ruben Dias, 28, saw his Cheshire home where he lives with girlfriend Maya Jama, 31, burgled.
Intruders broke in while Dias was playing in the Champions League against Galatasaray, with police confirming that items had been stolen.
The thieves made off with thousands of pounds worth of items including designer clothes, jewellery and electronics, according to reports. The couple had only recently moved into the Omaze prize-draw mansion, which is said to cost £20,000 a month to rent.
Dias reportedly raised the alarm after returning home and discovering the house had been turned upside down with valuable items missing.
A source said: ‘They are devastated. The house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them. Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded.’
They added to The Sun: ‘Maya was very proud to move into her first home with Ruben and took lots of videos and pictures while in the house which she posted on her social media.
‘Previously in their relationship, she was back and forth from London and he was living in a city centre flat. That’s why this property means so much to them.’
A spokesperson for Cheshire Police told Daily Mail: ‘Shortly after 11.10pm on Wednesday 28 January, police received reports of a burglary at an address in Woodbrook Road, Alderley Edge.’
They added: ‘Officers attended and found entry had been made to the property and a number of items had been stolen. Enquiries are currently ongoing and anyone with any information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or through the website.’
The Daily Mail contacted Maya and Ruben’s representatives for comment.
