00:00Disturbing footage shows the moment beloved comedian Paul Whitehouse is violently attacked at a London cash point.
00:08The 68-year-old farce showing Gone Fishing Star was getting cash on Essex Road in Islington when a confrontation
00:13suddenly turned physical.
00:15CCTV appears to show that this wasn't any conventional mugging.
00:18Whitehouse seemingly hadn't realised another man was waiting to use the cash point first, and the row appears to erupt
00:23over the queue.
00:24The attacker left Whitehouse's bank card behind, which was in the machine, before throwing it towards him as the comedian
00:29bent down to retrieve it.
00:30His wife, Dr Mine Konkwai, who first broke the news of the attack on Instagram, said he'd been out collecting
00:36medication for her after she suffered a bad reaction to treatment.
00:39She has since urged people to stay vigilant.
