Benedict Cumberbatch accused of breaking traffic rules during heated cyclist clash

Benedict Cumberbatch was spotted having a heated argument with a cyclist in London after allegedly running a red light.

​As per a report by Daily Mail on Tuesday evening at around 5:30 p.m. an eyewitness told the outlet that a 10 minute argument occurred when the Sherlock star was his cargo bike and another cyclist followed him and confronted him over the alleged traffic violation.

​A video from the scene, shared by the publisher, shows the other cyclist shouting, "You're deluded, you're lying. I was behind you the entire time", while Benedict replied, "dude, you verbally abused me".

​The cyclist then sarcastically responded, "Oh no, I verbally abused the guy who completely repeatedly broke the law," to which Benedict admitted, "I did it once".

​The man continued accusing the actor, saying, "and then you went through a zebra crossing, you went through three lights", but Benedict insisted, "no, I did not".

​The source described the exchange as intense and said the pair blocked the lane while arguing, leaving bystanders shocked.

​Despite the confrontation, the Doctor Strange actor later stopped to take selfies with young fans.

​Another witness told the outlet, “Everyone was just stood there with jaws dropped.”

​This is not the first time Benedict has reportedly had an issue involving cyclists. In 2019, he was involved in another incident after his car allegedly clipped a cyclist on the Isle of Wight.
