Former Nottingham Forest owner and millionaire businessman Fawaz Al-Hawasi has been pictured covered in bandages after being knifed by masked raiders who burst into his Mayfair home.

The Kuwaiti, 57, was reportedly in bed when burglars forced entry into his mansion in an attempt to rob him.

Al-Hawasi tried to defend himself when the gang broke into his bedroom. He says he was knifed in the hand and suffered a neck injury during the altercation.

It is unclear whether burglars escaped with any items from the property.

Police confirmed Mr Al-Hawasi’s injuries were not life-threatening or life-changing and that their ‘inquiries were continuing’.

Al-Hasawi’s sister, Khawla Mubarak Al-Hasawi posted on X: ‘Fawaz is fine, by God’s grace.

‘May God protet him from all harm and bless him with the safety of his son, Abdulaziz.

Al-Haswi bought Forest in 2012 and sold the club to current owner Evangelos Marinakis in 2017.
