Benedict Cumberbatch and his family were left fearing for their lives when a former chef at a luxury hotel launched a ranting knife attack at the star’s home.
Jack Bissell, 35, kicked his way through the front garden’s iron gate at the actor’s £3.5million house in north London, ripped the intercom off the wall and made a series of terrifying threats.
Bissell, who has not explained his outburst, was shouting: ‘I know you’ve moved here, I hope it burns down,’ a court heard.
