Cyclist Calls ‘Doctor Strange’ Star Benedict Cumberbatch Deluded in Road Rage Incident

Footage has emerged showing actor Benedict Cumberbatch engaged in a heated confrontation with another cyclist in central London.

The details come from The Sun, which reported eyewitness accounts and video from the scene near King’s Cross Station and St Pancras International. The incident reportedly occurred around 5:30pm on Tuesday.

Witnesses say the situation escalated when Cumberbatch was riding his cargo bike in a cycle lane, followed closely by another cyclist, leading to a public argument on the street.

In the video, a masked cyclist can be heard shouting at the actor, “You’re deluded, You’re lying. I was behind you the entire time.”

Cumberbatch responds during the exchange, saying, “Dude, you verbally abused me.” The cyclist retorts, accusing him of breaking road rules and running red lights, while Cumberbatch denies these allegations.

The masked cyclist also states, “Oh no, I verbally abused the guy who completely repeatedly broke the law,” as the argument continues in front of shocked onlookers.

Witnesses told The Sun that the exchange lasted around ten minutes and became quite loud. One passerby noted that the two men were blocking the cycle lane while arguing, drawing attention from those nearby.

Another witness described the situation as unusual and intense, stating it felt almost unreal as it unfolded. They mentioned that some bystanders recognized Cumberbatch and were surprised to see him involved in the argument.

At one point, schoolchildren nearby reportedly asked if it was the actor and requested a photo. The witness noted that Cumberbatch agreed to take selfies after the confrontation ended, appearing calm and polite with fans.

Eventually, the masked cyclist left the scene, bringing the dispute to a close.
