Former England player, Paul Gascoigne was reportedly attacked after he tried to tackle burglars breaking in to a neighbour’s home.
Paul (Gazza), 49, saw the pair from his balcony but when he went to confront them, one of the raiders allegedly punched him in the face.
The former England player and ex-Tottenham fell and injured his wrist.
Gazza was taken to hospital in an ambulance after being treated by paramedics.
A source said: “Without a second thought he intervened and stopped them breaking in.
“He got hit in the face then injured his wrist.
“The two men then scarpered pretty quickly.
“He was worried about his flat being empty so discharged himself out of hospital and went home pretty much straight away.
“He didn’t have to step in but he was real hero in doing so. But it really shook him up.”
A Dorset Police spokesman said: “We were called at 2.22am on Monday April 17 to reports of a burglary at an address in Poole.
“Police attended, however no offences were identified.”
