Miraculously, Lineker regained consciousness and eventually left the scene before the police arrived. In the aftermath of the incident, he took to social media to reassure his fans and provide an update on his condition.
“I wanted to write this post to let everyone know that I'm okay,” Lineker shared.
“I have a few stitches and a swollen lip. Obviously, the video is very upsetting to watch, especially for my family.”
He continued, expressing gratitude for his fortunate position: “It could have been much worse. I consider myself very lucky not to have been 2 meters further back, as my head would have hit the wall.”
Amidst speculation about the motives behind the attack, Lineker himself confirmed that he had intervened to “protect a girl from harassment.”
