[Saba Sports News] Recently, former Arsenal player Nicklas Bendtner and two friends were attacked by a knife-wielding assailant in New York, with one of Bendtner’s friends hospitalized after being stabbed. Surveillance footage shows that Bendtner and his two friends were attacked by a knife-wielding assailant in Manhattan last Wednesday. One of Bendtner’s friends was stabbed and received hospital treatment, while Bendtner himself sustained injuries to his face and ear. In a media interview, Bendtner confirmed, “Yes, the person in the video is indeed me. Is it possible that the injured person is me? I will not comment on that, but I can confirm that the person in the video is me; that is hard to escape.” It is reported that the assailant was arrested by the police and charged with attempted murder and assault. The assailant, identified as Joshua Sinberg, 25, suffers from mental illness. It must be said that Bendtner’s injuries are unfortunate, but one can hope for the swift recovery of the other injured individuals.
