Man breaks into Benedict Cumberbatch’s house with a knife and threatens to burn it down

Sometimes fame can have another side. This proves the case that happened recently with Benedict Cumberbatch. The former chef of the Beaumont hotel, which is located in the prestigious Mayfair area of ​​London, Jack Bissell, attacked the actor’s house with a knife and tried to burn it down. According to the Daily Mail, the Sherlock star’s mansion is located in the north of the British capital. Bissell kicked through the iron gate, tore the intercom off the wall, and yelled threats at the actor:

I know you moved here, I hope it burns down.

At the moment when the man entered the estate, the actor and his wife were at home. They were worried that the man would decide to go inside. Before attacking the actor’s mansion, Jack Bissell entered the store and shouted threats at Cumberbatch. However, no one paid attention to this.

I’m going to burn down Benedict Cumberbatch’s house,” the man said.

The offender managed to leave the territory of Cumberbatch’s house before the arrival of the police. Despite this, law enforcement officers were able to figure it out. Jack’s trial took place on May 10.
