The comedian claimed that he was in the nation’s capital on New Oxford Street when the incident took place.

The messages that Paul received, which he shared on social media, read: “Hey Paul was that you at new Oxford street? Looked like some thugs tried to attack you.”

The second message read: “I did send the police who were a few cars behind but I think you drove off by then.”

The comedian has previously described the prejudice his father encountered in the 1980s and how he was subject to racially motivated violence, which is something he has also experienced, and he has now claimed that he has been attacked.

Paul said on Gaby Roslin’s show that his father had had a violent incident in which the attacker brandished a knife.
