Bradley Cooper held at knifepoint while picking up daughter from school - NME.com

Bradley Cooper has recalled an “insane” moment when he was held up at knifepoint during a school run.

The actor was collecting his daughter in New York just before the pandemic when the incident happened.

“I used to walk around New York City all the time with these [headphones] on – this was pre-pandemic – I was on the subway [at] 11:45 to pick Lea downtown at Russian school and I got held up at knifepoint,” Cooper said on Dax Shepherd’s Armchair Expert podcast.

The young man ran away, though not before Cooper managed to take several photographs of him on his phone, which he showed to nearby police.
