Despite being chased for 20 minutes by the armed bikers, Carroll decided to show his support for his team-mates during their match against Stoke.

After the attack boss Slaven Bilic told reporters the England international had been very brave and was feeling ok after the attack.

He said: “He got chased for 15-20 minutes it wasn’t like 10 seconds so it was probably planned, I know that and he was very brave to do what he did.

“He was brave because they asked for his watch or whatever with a gun, and he put the pedal down and he didn’t want to give him the watch.

“He came back to the training ground and it stopped.

“He was targeted from that guy but as I said he’s good, he’s ok he’s not in shock and he acted as a really great man.”

West Ham's new home hasn't been the safest place to watch football this season, but the club have tried to address that by hiring licensed 'bouncers' for their match today.
