“I was driving along the road when I saw two men dressed head to toe in black,” the onlooker said.

“One man was on the bike and the other was either attacking or fighting Michael McIntyre. There was shouting too.”

The passer-by added that it was “really scary”, saying: “The second guy jumped on the back of the motorbike and they got away.”

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the incident happened on Monday.

“Officers attended. The victim was stationary in his car when two males on a moped smashed the car windows with a hammer before stealing property.

“No injuries were reported. No arrests have been made. Inquiries continue. Anyone with information is asked to call police.”

Fans rallied around the comedian on Twitter sending messages of support.

“Those robbers who stole Michael McIntyres watch and smashed into his car should be ashamed of what theyve done,” one online user tweeted.

Another said: “Cant believe anyone would mug Michael McIntyre, literally one of the most kindest, harmless person.”
