Paul McCartney told The Times that his grandson was recently robbed with a knife. He said his grandson felt like a “coward” after it happened – and said he regretted not “thumping the guy” when they discussed the sad incident. McCartney told The Times, “I said: ‘No, no, no, no!'”
“‘The guy had a knife and you don’t know, the guy might be able to use that knife.’ So it is scary these days.” He added, “When I was a kid it was four guys and they nicked my watch. I was of a similar age.
“I just happened to be on my own, bigger kids came along and it was the same feeling.” Sir Paul said he remembered thinking at the time “I have got to learn karate and be a black belt – and then I’ll get ’em! It was the worst thing.” A Paul McCartney ‘couldn’t breath’ when seeing him at a restaurant earlier this week.
