Robert Pattinson Hit by Cab in New York

This past Thursday the pale pretty-boy actor was in NYC filming for Remember Me when he was reportedly struck by a taxi cab while escaping the clutches of a gaggle of squealing female fans.

According to one onlooker, a large group of “hysterical” girls surrounded the actor when he exited a book store where he had been filming for the majority of the day. Five security guards attempted to escort Pattinson away from the “loud and upset” fans by hustling him across a rain soaked street, but neglected to look both ways before crossing.

At any rate, Pattinson appeared to be miraculously undamaged the following day as he rolled around in the sand at Rockaway Beach to shoot some scenes with Remember Me costar Emilie de Ravin (See the gallery). And justlikethat many of you now hate emile de Ravin.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission in New York City said there had been no official report of the incident, and eyewitnesses reported that it was more of a “graze” than an actual collision. Mysteriously, a large, hand-shaped dent was later found in the side of the offending taxi cab.
