"Cumberbatch is seen walking over to a man in red trousers, whose face is covered. The conversation reportedly went on for 10 minutes, with the pair blocking the bike lane while arguing. In the video, the other cyclist is heard calling Cumberbatch “deluded”, saying: “You’re lying. I was behind you the entire time.”"
"“Dude, you verbally abused me,” the actor replies, with the other cyclist sarcastically mocking him, saying: “Oh no, I verbally abused the guy who completely, repeatedly broke the law.” While Cumberbatch appeared to accept some guilt, saying that he “did it once”, the star of Marvel’s Doctor Strange films denied the other cyclist’s claims that he “went through a zebra crossing” and “went through three lights”."
"“No, I did not,” he replied. The other man eventually left the scene, after which Cumberbatch reportedly took a selfie with two young fans. “Everyone was just stood there with jaws dropped. These school kids asked, ‘Is that Doctor Strange?’ and asked for a picture with him. Benedict said, ‘Not at the moment, in a minute’. He was lovely with them, they were awestruck.”"
