Star cyclist was ‘jumped on’ and punched at Essex home before raiders made off with valuable watches
The Olympic silver medallist Mark Cavendish and his wife were robbed at knifepoint by a masked gang, while one of their children was hidden under bed covers, a court has heard.
The armed robbers threatened to stab the cyclist, as Cavendish’s wife, Peta, hid their three-year-old son under the duvet in their bedroom to stop him seeing the robbery.
