Benedict Cumberbatch struggling with a chef who threatened his family with a fish knife

For the general public Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed an impeccable Sherlock Holmes and embodied in Imitation Game with incredible accuracy, Alan Turing, the man who broke the code of the German Enigma machine during the Second World War. But today, it is a disturbing news item that brings him back in spite of himself to the front of the news. A few weeks ago, the British actor was attacked at his London home by a former chef, armed with a fish knife.

The assailant, Jack Bissel, a former cook at the Mayfair Hotel in London, violently entered the actor's property while uttering threats. The actor was present with his wife and three children. They were spooked by this man who kicked the iron garden gate and spat on the intercom, before yelling, "I know you live here and I'm going to burn it all down."

This man, known to the police for having committed other offenses of theft and possession of narcotics, fled the scene after his attack but was very quickly identified by the investigators thanks to the analysis of the DNA traces left in the owned by the Cumberbatch family. Arrested, Jack Bissel appeared immediately before a London court on May 10, 2023. He was sentenced to a fine of around 400 euros and a restraining order which prohibits him for three years from approaching the home of Benedict Cumberbatch.

It is still unclear why Jack Bissel attacked the Cumberbatch family. The actor and his relatives, apparently shocked, did not want to make this disturbing affair public. Because according to the Daily Mail, “the whole family was terrified and believed that this man was going to come in and hurt them”.
