A knife-wielding man accused of attacking Benedict Cumberbatch's home and threatening the actor and his family has pleaded guilty to a criminal damage charge.
Bissell appeared in Wood Green Crown Court on May 10 and pleaded guilty to criminal damage. He also received a $310 fine and was ordered to stay away from the family and where they live for three years.
Representatives for Cumberbatch did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Times' request for comment. It is unclear when the attack took place but outlets reported that Bissell allegedly forcibly entered the "Sherlock" star's property and kicked his way in through the garden gate, yelling that he knew that the actor had moved to the home and hoped that "it burns down." The former chef allegedly uprooted a plant, tossed it at a garden wall and spit into Cumberbatch's intercom device, which he also attempted to dislodge with a fish knife. He then fled the scene.
