Keith also Tweeted: “Note to self – be more aware and stop showing off with my £40 watch!”
The comedian later spoke to The Sun about the incident, saying: "I’m OK. It was just a bit weird. I didn’t realise what was going on.
“These guys rode by the side of us and grabbed my arm. I was like ‘what’s going on?! He couldn’t get my watch off cos he had biker gloves on.”
