Ms Hamrick, 38, mother to Sir Mick’s youngest child, Deveraux, wrote on Instagram: ‘This is incredibly hard to share, but I was physically attacked at Annabel’s Mayfair tonight.

It comes amid a series of brazen daytime heists targeting some of London's most expensive stores, with thieves swiping thousands of pounds worth of luxury watches, handbags and jewellery.
And the area around prestigious Berkeley Square in Mayfair has become one of the worst in the capital - and in Europe - for robberies and street crime, the Daily Mail revealed.
Official figures suggest people are 30 times more likely to be a victim of crime there than elsewhere in London.
Police data showed there were 115 robberies per 1,000 residents in the local area, in contrast to London's overall robbery rate, which is about 3.7 per 1,000 people over the same period between December 2024 and November 2025.
Thefts and robberies, especially targeting mobile phones, have tripled over a recent four-year period across London's West End, with tens of thousands of reported cases, and the area around Mayfair and St James's is particularly targeted.
