BT in Denmark got in touch with the ex-Gunners man to verify whether he was caught up in this scary situation. Bendtner hasn’t shared details of the incident, but he did confirm it was him in the video.
“Yes, I can confirm that. I have no comment on that. But I can confirm that it is me in the video. It’s hard to run away from,” he said.
According to the American media, the man who was walking along with Bendtner was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in New York, where he was treated for ‘non-life-threatening facial injuries’.
