And the Olympic medallist was also wearing it in an Instagram post from a charity do at the Grosvenor House Hotel the night before – raising fears he may have been specifically targeted. An eyewitness told The Sun that Khan was visibly shaken by the ordeal, adding: 'They were not hanging around. They got straight into the car and fled. 'Amir had enjoyed a lovely evening with his wife and had been shopping earlier in the day. It raises real fears he was a deliberate target. It's extremely serious. He was left absolutely terrified.' Khan and Makhdoom, who got married in 2013 in New York, have three children, Lamisah, Muhammad and Alayna. At the time Khan posted on Twitter: 'Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton. Amir Khan is pictured with a fan in Oxford Street wearing one of his luxury watches In a post to her Instagram account late last night, Khan's wife Makhdoom also claimed the watch was stolen and posted its serial number in a bid to try and 'find out who's done this' 'I crossed the road with Faryal, luckily she was few steps behind me. 'Two men ran to me, he asked for my watch whilst having a gun pointed in my face. The main thing is we're both safe.' Detective Sergeant Lee Warrington of the Met's Specialist Crime Command said: 'Tackling robbery is a key priority for the Met and these arrests demonstrate our commitment to taking those intent on using violence, or the threat of violence, off of our streets.' In 2012 Khan was ambushed by an armed gang that reportedly tried to steal his £100,000 Range Rover. An onlooker is quoted in The Sun as saying: 'These guys tried to jump Amir and his brother but they picked on the wrong blokes. 'They parked their car in front of the Range Rover. At least one had a cosh. One slapped Amir and clipped him on the lip but Amir pulled back and knocked him out cold. 'Then five of them went for Amir and Haroon - but they stood their ground and these guys got dropped one by one. They left these men with cuts and bruises but all they were doing was defending their property.'
