Benedict
Cumberbatch, star of Marvel's
Doctor Strange and
Avengers: Infinity War proved his superhero status was the real deal when he saved a
Cyclist From four muggers recently.
According to
The Sun,
the 41-year-old actor spotted the
Attack happening while
riding in an Uber on Marylebone High Street in central London. Witnesses at the scene said
Benedict sprang into action after jumping out of the car, shouting "leave him alone!"
The actor faced off with the muggers who assaulted the food-delivery
Cyclist with a bottle. Although one of the attackers attempted to land a punch on the star,
Benedict was able to thwart off the assailants. The Uber driver, Manuel Dias, confirmed the story to the outlet, saying, "The
Cyclist was lucky; Benedict's a superhero."

Manuel continued, "He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He was very brave."
Benedict reportedly asked the
Cyclist how he was feeling after the scary incident and hugged him after he was assured that he was OK. "Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless," Manuel shared. "If he hadn't stepped in, the
Cyclist could have been seriously injured."
Benedict doesn't consider himself a hero, though. "I did it out of, well, I had to, you know . . ." he told the outlet. A humble superhero? We've decided to stan forever.
