Private Eye editor Ian Hislop was targeted by a gunman who shot at his taxi last night during rush hour.
The Have I Got News For You star, known for his exchanges with rival team captain Paul Merton, was in the back seat of the black cab when a firearm was discharged.
The bullet struck the rear window of the hackney carriage shortly after 10am on Tuesday as the car sat in traffic in Soho, central London.
Both escaped without injury, according to reports. The incident took place on Dean Street close to its junction with Oxford Street – close to where Private Eye’s offices are located.
