In a podcast episode, Hollywood star Bradley Cooper said that in 2019 he was detained by a knife-wielding person in a New York subway station.
The “A Star Is Born” actor said the whole incident had turned “quite insane” when he was approached by a man on the subway at 11:45 am.
“I remember looking into the person’s eyes and being amazed at how young they were,” Cooper said on the “Armchair Expert” podcast by fellow American actor Dax Shepard.
Cooper said he was wearing headphones and couldn’t hear the ambient noise, but he saw the man pointing a knife, which he described as having a two- to three-inch blade and a wooden handle.
Cooper ran and jumped a turnstile inside the station, then ran to the entrance, where he managed to get out. “I started running,” he said. “I jumped the turnstile, hid in the white-tiled subway entrance (and) grabbed my phone,” he explained.
He managed to take a picture of the man and chased him down the stairs towards 7th Avenue.
Cooper said he was able to take two more photos of the man and then reported the incident to a nearby police officer.
The actor said that he was going to pick up his daughter from school and that, after the incident, he realized that he was very comfortable in the city and not very aware of risks.
“My guard was down,” he added. “I realized that I had become very, very comfortable in this town.”
