The windows of his black Range Rover were smashed and he was reportedly forced to hand over a Rolex watch.
He had been waiting in his vehicle to collect his sons in Golders Green in north London when he was attacked by two males.
The Met Police said they were called to North End Road just before 2pm on Monday.
The force said in a statement: “The victim was stationary in his car when two males on a moped smashed the car windows with a hammer before stealing property.
“No injuries were reported.”
Michael’s agent told The Sun: “Michael was involved in an incident involving armed robbers.
“He is absolutely fine and helping police with their inquiries.”
Investigators said no arrests have been made and inquiries were continuing.
Witnesses were asked to contact police.
Michael, meanwhile, has not directly addressed the incident himself.
He’s in the middle of his sold-out Big World Tour and currently presents the BAFTA-winning Michael McIntyre’s Big Show on BBC One.
