Benedict Cumberbatch Clashes With Cyclist in 10-Minute London Red-Light Dispute

St Pancras Road in London became the scene of a roughly 10-minute argument after Benedict Cumberbatch was accused of riding his cargo bike through a red light on May 5, 2024.
Video showed Cumberbatch confronting a masked cyclist who said he had run one or two red lights; Cumberbatch denied that, saying he had done it once and was being verbally abused.
An eyewitness described the exchange as "pompous road rage," said the two cyclists blocked the lane, and said the other rider followed Cumberbatch until he stopped.
After the cyclist left, Cumberbatch posed for photos with fans; his representative did not immediately comment on the incident.
