- He recalled being hauled from the vehicle and thrown face-down as he believed he was about to be killed.
- Kemp said one assailant recognized him by saying “Spandau Ballet” and demanded an autograph before letting him go.
- UK reports of the podcast recounting state the armed men were later identified as plain-clothes police allegedly attempting a shakedown.
