The thief and his accomplice threatened Genevieve Chenneour, saying they would stab her multiple times. Security camera footage from the café captured the moment they tried to steal the actress’s phone.
Known for her role as Clara Livingston in “Bridgerton,” the actress reported on Wednesday the 11th that she suffered a concussion after being attacked by Zacariah Boulares on February 8th in Kensington, London.
According to the New York Post, the criminals tried to sneakily grab her phone, but Genevieve Chenneour noticed and fought back.
She extended her arm causing Boulares to drop her phone. The café customers were shocked by the scene.
“The man who approached me at the end was the one who threatened to stab me multiple times,” Genevieve Chenneour wrote in her Instagram Stories.
“At that moment, something took over me and the physical fight became a matter of life or death in my mind. It’s crazy, watching the start of this video gives me chills,” the actress continued in her statement.
Genevieve Chenneour was with her dog during the incident. The animal was barking in fear.
The actress stated that authorities released Boulares’ accomplice due to lack of evidence.
London Metropolitan Police identified Boulares in the café’s security footage. He will receive his sentence on June 17th.
