Benedict Cumberbatch fights off FOUR muggers attacking Deliveroo driver

Benedict Cumberbatch has fought off four muggers who were attacking a Deliveroo driver.

The incident happened last night near his Baker Street home in central London.

The Sun has reported that the Sherlock star was in an Uber with his wife, Sophie Hunter on Marylebone High Street when they witnessed a cyclist being hit over the head with a bottle.

The taxi driver, Manuel Dias, told The Sun, “Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless. If he hadn’t stepped in the cyclist could have been seriously injured. Here was Sherlock Holmes fighting off four attackers just round the corner from Baker Street.”

“He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, ‘Leave him alone’,” the driver said.

Manuel helped to save the cyclist as he fought off the attackers alongside Benedict. The actor asked how the cyclist was after the ordeal and hugged him. The Sun report that the muggers fled when they recognised the star.

Hechalked his noble actions down to necessity saying, “I did it out of, well, I had to, you know?”
