Cumberbatc­h saves cyclist from attack

- BY TREVOR QUINN

Benedict SHERLOCK star Benedict Cumberbatc­h reportedly saved a cyclist under attack on Friday night.

The incident took place near London’s Baker Street – the home of his infamous TV character Sherlock Holmes.

Cumberbatc­h, 41, is said to have seen a Deliveroo cyclist being beaten up by four people as he and his wife Sophie Hunter were driving past in an Uber.

The Avengers: Infinity War star told the driver to pull in before rushing to the man’s aid.

The cabbie Manuel Dias said: “Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless. If he hadn’t stepped in the cyclist could have been seriously injured.

“He seemed to know exactly what he was doing.”
