According to The Sun, Al-Hasawi sustained stab wounds to his hand and injuries to his neck during the terrifying ordeal, which occurred as the intruders attempted to ransack his residence.
Fortunately, he survived the attack, and police confirmed that his injuries were neither life-threatening nor life-altering. It remains unclear if the robbers managed to steal any valuables before fleeing.
Meanwhile, images shared online showed Al-Hasawi in a hospital bed, his hands heavily bandaged. His legal team has urged authorities to release more details, highlighting concerns that other visitors from the Arabian Gulf might fear similar attacks.
Known for his collection of luxury watches, often displayed on social media, Al-Hasawi’s high-profile lifestyle may have made him a target.

Rising trend of celebrity home raids
Al-Hasawi’s attack comes amid a growing pattern of home invasions targeting Premier League stars.
Just weeks prior, Manchester City defender Ruben Dias and his partner, media personality Maya Jama, were victims of a raid at their Cheshire mansion, losing more than £1 million in designer watches, jewellery, handbags, and clothing.
Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has also shared experiences of multiple traumatic burglaries, reporting losses of luxury items worth around £1 million despite earning £50,000 a week.
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling bravely confronted masked intruders armed with a knife to protect his young family during a home break-in, as GB News reported.
The incident happened in November 2025, masked intruders attempted to break into the newly signed Feyenoord star's Berkshire home while he was inside with his partner and children.
The spate of incidents has left Premier League stars on high alert, with some fearing that insiders may be tipping off burglars about their movements.
Authorities continue to investigate these raids, but the series of high-profile attacks underscores the risks faced by wealthy footballers and celebrities, highlighting the need for heightened security measures in their homes.
