Fame has finally taken its toll on Twilight star Robert Pattison. The 23-year old was struck by a taxi as he was chased by fans as her fled a New York book store Thursday.
Pattinson was not seriously injured when the NY cab clipped his hip as he tried to cross the street to get away from his pursuers.Pattinson was in New York filming scenes for his new movie ‘Remember Me’.
Although he was surrounded by five security guards hired after incidents in the last week with out of control fans, the screaming girls managed to block a safe path for the actor.
When the actor was hit, one of the guards yelled at the girls ‘you almost killed him”.
Pattinson won fame as the vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight. He will reprise the role in the follow-up ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’, due later this year.
