Benedict Cumberbatch was involved in a heated argument with a fellow cyclist on a central London street.
Shocked bystanders watched on as the Hollywood star was called “deluded” during the angry exchange with another rider near King’s Cross Station.
Footage of the Doctor Strange and Sherlock actor involving Cumberbatch and a masked cyclist was published by the Sun.
The row is said to have unfolded at around 5.30pm on Tuesday.
The A-list star reportedly left his bike and walked across the road to confront the other cyclist amid their row.
The angered cyclist shouts: “You’re deluded, You’re lying. I was behind you the entire time.”
Cumberbatch responds with: “Dude, you verbally abused me.”

The altercation reportedly lasted ten minutes before the masked man left the scene.
A fan, who filmed the confrontation, told the Sun: “It was crazy. It was such a pompous road rage it almost felt like it had been staged.
“Benedict still managed to charm everyone watching even though he was having a meltdown.”
The eyewitness claimed that the pair blocked the lane while arguing on the busy road.
The onlooker continued: “The masked guy was obviously some kind of vigilante – he was really taken aback when he saw it was Benedict Cumberbatch, but he doubled down on his rage.
“These school kids asked ‘is that Dr Strange?’ and asked for a picture with him.
“Benedict said ‘not at the moment, in a minute’; he was lovely with them, they were awe-struck.”
