【Peter North Jenna Jameson - Priceless (1995)】

Benedict Cumberbatch helped fight off a group of muggers attacking a cyclist in London,Peter North Jenna Jameson - Priceless (1995) a mere stone's throw from Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street home.

“The cyclist was lucky, Benedict’s a superhero," said Cumberbatch's Uber driver, who witnessed the whole thing and eventually joined to help.

Yeah, we know.

Cumberbatch reportedly leapt out of his Uber to help the struggling cyclist, who was being attacked by no less than four assailants. Bystanders told The Sunthat he shouted "Leave him alone!" and then pulled the muggers off their victim.

"It all got a bit surreal," said the Uber driver, Manuel Dias. "Here was Sherlock Holmes fighting off four attackers just round the corner from Baker Street."

Surreal indeed. Dias suspected the muggers ran away, not only because they were being physically bested by a literal superhero, but because they recognized Cumberbatch. Imagine getting in a fight and then realizing you're up against a ripped Dr. Strange!

After the attackers left, Cumberbatch checked that the victim was okay and gave him a hug. The cyclist sustained some minor injuries but avoided any severe harm – though we're not sure how he recovered from that hug.
