A pensioner has claimed that he was the victim of a hit and run at the hands of Professor Green in London.

67-year-old Albert Stanford told The Sun that the rapper caused £800 worth of damage to his car before leaving the scene without giving his insurance details.

Stanford said that Green reversed a Mercedes into his Vauxhall Vectra but claimed the star had departed before the OAP came downstairs.

He said that he contacted the rapper's grandmother after being told that Green was in possession of the car involved.

It is reported that Green later phoned up Stanford, but an argument ensued.

Speaking about the incident, Stanford said: "It made a loud smash. But by the time I got my dressing gown on and went down, they had driven off."

Professor Green meanwhile is reported to have said: "The matter is being looked into."
