Horrible experience

Bissell also reportedly took one of the family’s plants and threw it against the garden wall and, at one point, ripped the intercom off the building after spitting on it.

The former chef reportedly fled the scene before police arrived.

However, authorities were able to track him down due to the DNA evidence he left on the intercom.

Bissell was reportedly arrested, fined, and hit with a three-year restraining order from the Cumberbatch family.

A source told the outlet:

“Naturally all of the family were absolutely terrified and thought this guy was going to get in and hurt them. Luckily it never went that far. Benedict and Sophie have had many sleepless nights since worrying that they may be targeted again."
