Bradley Cooper is looking back at a scary incident that took place in 2019.

In a new interview with Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert, the 46-year-old actor detailed being held at knifepoint while he was on his way to pick up his daughter, Lea.

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 Leadowntown at Russian school and I got held up at knifepoint, he explained. It was pretty insane. I realized I had gotten way, way too comfortable in the city. My guard was down I was all the way at the end of the subway.

He continued, Innately, I would just go all the way down to the end. I felt somebody coming up. I thought, Oh they want to take a photo or something. As I turned, Im up against the post like its the French Connection or some st, and I turned. I looked down and I see a knife.

Bradleywent on to say that the knife was almost three inches long and he thought it was a nice knife with some history behind it.

"I have my headphones on the whole time. I cant hear anything. Im just listening to music. So its scored, the whole thing was scored, he said with a laugh. I cant remember [what I was listening to]. I look up, I see the persons eyes, and Im taken by how young they are.

While he had been taught to never run from a knife, he immediately ran toward the exit.

I just started booking, just started running. I jumped over the turnstile, hid around the white, tiled entrance to the subway [and] took my phone out. He jumped over, running away. I took a photo of him. Then I chased him up the stairs. He started running up 7th Avenue. I took two more photographs of him, Bradleyrecalled. I ran down two police officers in an SUV, showed them the photograph and Im, like, talking to them, and the guy kept saying it was so interesting hes like, Are you stabbed? I was like, No, no. He was like, Check to see if youre stabbed. What happens is people get stabbed and theyre in shock. I looked to see if he was right. And then I got back on the subway and picked up my daughter.

Scary stuff. Glad he made it out safe.

Interesting.

Felt like I avoided a similar situation last night. I was driving down an unlight road and two guys on bicycles flagged me down near a sharp turn.

One guy said the other was injured and needed a ride a short distance. The 'injured' guy had his head down the whole time and had a hat on.

I said no and started to drive away and the guy tried to guilt trip me for leaving. Then the 'injured' guy looked up and saw his face. HE didn't look very friendly and several face tattoos.

This was definitely a scam and they were trying to steal my car or worse.
