During a TV appearance on Wednesday’s edition of the Today Show, the former One Direction member, 26, insisted he’s ‘okay’ after he was left ‘shaken’ over the terrifying incident.
‘I’m okay, thanks, thank you. Thanks for asking’, the singer told host Carson Daly while promoting his upcoming Love On Tour.

Earlier this month, the Sign Of The Times hitmaker was out in Hampstead, north London, when he was confronted and threatened by a man who pulled a knife on him.
The thug demanded cash from the singer and Styles quickly complied, managing to get away unharmed.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed they had received reports of a robbery in the area on the night in question.
A spokesperson said: ‘Police are investigating reports of a knifepoint robbery in Hampstead.

‘Officers were contacted on Saturday, 15 February regarding the incident which happened at 23.50hrs on Friday, 14 February.
‘It was reported that a man in his 20s was approached by another man and threatened him with a knife.
‘The victim was not injured however, cash was taken from him. No arrests and enquiries are ongoing.’
The media personality put on a brave face as he appeared at the 40th annual BRIT Awards just four days after the ordeal.

He is said attended the event with the bodyguard he shares with Mick Jagger for some A-lister level protection.
‘Harry was on great form at the Brits, chatting to everyone and having a great time,’ a source told The Sun.
‘But we did notice his bodyguard was with him that evening. That’s understandable given that he was mugged so recently and has been the victim of a stalker in the past.
‘Like Mick, he has to take security very seriously. And as Mick is such an idol of his, it makes sense that he would look to him to inspire his choice of staff — as well as his choices of fashion and hairstyles.’
‘I think she’s amazing!’ Elsewhere in his breakfast interview, the musician teased a collaboration with American singer Lizzo, after forging a close relationship
MailOnline contacted Harry’s representatives for further comment at the time of publication.
Elsewhere in his breakfast interview, the musician teased a collaboration with American singer Lizzo, after forging a close relationship.
The former X Factor star told fans: ‘Maybe! I just think she’s amazing. I think she’s such a great artist.
‘As a fan, what you want an artist to be is themselves. And I think she’s someone who is just herself and she makes amazing music and it’s really feel-good, and I think that’s what a lot of people need right now. I think she’s great.’
