In scenes reminiscent of the early days of the Beatles, scores of screaming female fans mobbed the Twilight star Robert Pattinson as he tried to film a new movie on the streets of New York.
The mayhem resulted in the British actor feeling the full force of his burgeoning worldwide celebrity when he was apparently hit by a taxi while trying to run across a road to escape.
The celebrity website radaronline.com reported witnessing Pattinson, 23, being clipped by one of New York’s famous yellow cabs as he tried to escape the women who were jostling to get an autograph or take photos of him on their phones. One managed to wrap her arms around the star.
The site reported that the taxi appeared to hit Pattinson on the hip, and the driver slammed his brakes on. Despite being a little stunned by the incident, the actor seemed to walk away unharmed, it said.
Three bodyguards continued to try to fend off the hysterical teenagers as the heartthrob walked around the block to production offices from the Manhattan location of a scene that he was shooting for the forthcoming romance Remember Me.
