  • 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.
