Tony Blair’s daughter Kathryn has been threatened at gunpoint in a botched robbery.
The young barrister was walking her dog with her boyfriend and a group of friends when the attackers struck.
The pair were in Marylebone, a mile from the £975,000 home her father bought her in 2010, and near his own central London property.
Neither 25-year-old Miss Blair nor her boyfriend were harmed in the attack, which took place at around 8pm on Monday.
The attempted mugging is thought to be linked to another similar incident in the area on the same night.
The two attempted robberies took place just half an hour apart and both involved the use of a firearm to threaten a couple.
A spokesman for the Blairs said: ‘Kathryn was with a group of friends. No one was hurt and nothing was stolen.’
The group were approached by two men, one armed with a gun, and were asked for cash and jewellery before the suspects fled empty-handed.

That's a barista.
No, it was a joke.
When and where guns are banned... only OUTLAWS have guns.
You never know around here. :^)
No descriptions of the thugs?
That is one sturdy looking girl. With those legs I don’t think the average car could put her down.
>>Good thing guns are strictly regulated over there...
100% ban on private ownership of handguns. I believe Blair is the one who passed that legislation.
That can’t be true. They don’t allow guns in the UK. Paging Piers Morgan. :-)
Good 'ole Tony's mansion cost around 10 mil if I remember correctly.
“No descriptions of the thugs?”
In Britain that = Asians which in turn = muslims.
It’s a well know fact that criminals are very good at obeying the law….. especially on the weapons they use to commit crimes.
[Have I pegged the sarcasm meter yet?]
SCHADENFREUDE!
Imagine how much better Tony Blair would have felt if his daughter or her boyfriend, or both, pulled out handguns and proceeded to ventilate both robbers. Thus preventing future robberies and saving the crown money spent on trial and incarceration for two weeks before they were let go because of overcrowding in their prisons.
As its London, it will be young black youth. Betcha.
Nope. Sadly millions of you Stateside believe this.
Yes, they are. Americans need to learn before they post.
On the mainland, in NI they are legal and widely owned, as they are in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
Yes, they do. Paging someone who actually has bothered to read up on British gun control.
Impossible. Guns are against the law.
Sigh.
