Love Island stars Kaz Kamwi and Liberty Poole were held at knifepoint by a 40-year-old woman on their way to a party in Los Angeles. On Thursday night, the Love Island pair were confronted by a woman in a "wrong part of the neighbourhood". She threatened them with a knife. Two men nearby were able to defend Kamwi and Poole and apprehended the attacker.

Passersby alerted the police about the terrifying incident.A source told The Scottish Sun: "Liberty and Kaz had been just heading to a party and got out of their car in the wrong part of the neighbourhood. Out of the blue, this woman appeared with a knife and threatened them. Liberty and Kaz were obviously shocked and terrified — especially because guns are legal in the US."

The source continued: "But fortunately for them, two men who had been walking past came to their rescue and called the police. The girls have been left shaken up by the incident and are just surprised that it happened to them. But they're grateful that the two men were in the right place at the right time, to help them. They're now determined to put the scary incident behind them for the rest of their once-in-a-lifetime trip."Kamwi and Poole had met in the Love Island villa during last year's series. The pair became friends after meeting.

Kamwi and Poole are in the US after attending the Coachella music festival in California's Colorado Desert last month. They have been spending time in the US for a holiday.A spokesman for each of the pair declined the opportunity to make a comment.Poole has recently signed a £1 million deal with online retailer In The Style to become the brand's latest ambassador. Kamwi created a successful career as a fashion influencer and has recently done charity work with Shelter and The Big Issue.
