sherlockhasfeels:sherlockspeare:221bcumberb:221bcumberb:duskybatfishgirl:In tomorrow’s (horrid tabloid but anyway) paper! Man is an actual hero :-)“Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch fought off a gang of four muggers as they beat up a defenceless Deliveroo cyclist. The actor, 41, leapt from an Uber car and waded in after spotting the attack near Detective Sherlock Holmes’ fictional home in London’s Baker Street. The gang fled. Uber driver Manuel Dias said: The cyclist was lucky, Benedict’s a superhero.”Ok, there’s more:The star leapt to the rescue as the yobs punched the defenceless cyclist and smashed him over the head with a bottle.Witnesses told how Benedict, 41, jumped from an Uber car in which he was riding with wife Sophie Hunter and sprinted into the fray, yelling: “Leave him alone.”He dragged the four muggers off their bloodied victim. They then tried to punch Benedict, but he fen­ded them off before they fled.Driver Manuel Dias, 53, said: “I was taking Benedict and his wife to a club — but I didn’t know it was him at first.“I went to turn down into Marylebone High Street and we saw four guys were pushing around a Deliveroo cyclist.“My passenger jumped out, ran over and pulled the men away. They turned towards him and things looked like getting worse, so I joined in.“He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, ‘Leave him alone’.“It was only then I recognised Benedict. Then it all got a bit surreal. Here was Sherlock Holmes fighting off four attackers just round the corner from Baker Street.“I had hold of one lad and Benedict another. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He was very brave. He did most of it, to be honest.“They tried to hit him but he defended himself and pushed them away. He wasn’t injured. Then I think they also re­cognised it was Be­ne­dict and ran away.Sherlock star Cumberbatch insisted he was not a hero, claiming he ‘had to’ help the victim.“Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless. If he hadn’t stepped in the cyclist could have been seriously injured.“He asked the rider how he was and when he said, ‘I’m OK’ Benedict just hugged him.”Sourcedamn Daniel He truly is a superhero -- source link
