Bandits attack millionaire Al Basman in London, smash £3m Bugatti

Abdullah F. Al Basman, a millionaire and social media personality, was attacked by armed thieves in broad daylight in central London.

The millionaire was attacked, by hammer-wielding moped riders, while driving near Park Lane in his Bugatti supercar worth £3 million.

The target was believed to be his Platinum Rolex Daytona watch, which is worth over £110K.

However, the operation was unsuccessful but the window of his black Bugatti Chiron hypercar was destroyed.

Eyewitnesses claimed that Al Basman was followed by the muggers from the Berkeley Hotel where he was staying.

According to The Sun UK, a witness said: “The moped thieves were at the hotel this morning and staff told them to get off the pavement.

“When Abdullah left in the Bugatti they started following him all the way to Hyde Park Corner. One beeped their horn which I assume was the signal to start attacking.

“I assume they were waiting for a junction they knew would have a long red light so they had time to attack them.”

It is thought the bandits may have targeted the Kuwaiti playboy, who flaunts his supercars and expensive watches on social media.

Meanwhile, Met Police confirmed they had been called to Curzon Street in Mayfair just before 5 pm on Sunday, August 21.

Police said: “A man aged in his 40s reported being assaulted by two men who stole his watch. Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and the man was treated for injuries at the scene. He did not require hospital treatment.”

No arrests have been made.
