Twilight star Robert Pattinson was hit by a cab in New York yesterday, June 17th, while being chased by a gaggle of hysterical fans.
A team of bodyguards fought to control a horde of screaming teenage girls as Robert Pattinson tried to leave Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street. As Pattinson sprinted across the street in the rain a cab clipped him, slamming on its breaks.
The "hit by a cab" incident freaked out his watching fans and prompted inaccurate reports that Robert Pattinson had been "almost killed" by a wayward taxi.
It appeared as if the cab hit Rob in the hip. He stood there for a moment looking stunned. The bodyguard next to him checked if he was okay."
Robert Pattinson is currently shooting the film Remember Me and will be in Manhattan, New York, for the next four weeks.

It's a shame girls can't give Robert Pattinson some room when they see him. Yes I would be excited, but I would keep my distance. I'd hate to see something bad happen to Robert Pattinson. Twilight would never be the same without him.

Sounds like Rob needs to get some new bodyguards if they think that the "crazed fans" were out of control. They're the ones that let our Precious BRiT dart out infront of traffic in the first place! First of all, when I went to NY, I almost got hit by a cab too, so it's not all that uncommon. So again, I believe he should hire a new BRUTE SQUAD who knows about NYC and can handle " crazy insane fans " please........I'm 27 and I LOVE ROB, and so does my 16 year old cuz, but she's not stupid either...why WOULD WE, THE FANS, PUT HIM IN DANGER??? I THINK WE ALL VOW>>>>>>>>>>WE LOVE HIM!

I agree the fans are overboard with this Robert Pattinson obsession, but I wouldn't go about blaming them for almost KILLING the guy. That's a little extreme. He's without a doubt gorgeous and talented, but let's face it... the fans need to calm down. There are plenty of attractive guys in the world and we don't need them to go into hiding because of crazed girls.
