While running away from fans Robert Pattinson was struck by a taxi cab in NYC while filming his new movie Remember Me.
Radar Online witnessed the event. This is what they said:
“A team of five security guards were trying to fend off a crowd of teenaged girls when Rob was leaving the bookstore.
It was pouring rain as they tried to hustle him quickly across the busy street to the safety of his trailer.
Some of the teen girls were hysterical and Rob rushed across the road. As he did so, a taxi grazed him. The cabbie slammed on his brakes as soon as he realized what had
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 and then screamed at the fans: “You see what you did, you almost killed him!”

UPDATE:
According to an article on E! A spokesperson for the Summit Entertainment studio states:
“Robert Pattinson is fine. The reports are exaggerated, and the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues.”
This is why I feel so bad for celebrities sometimes. Paparazzi and crazed fans constantly hounding them like they aren’t real people. I understand that when you become a celebrity you must give up some of this freedom of living a normal life to deal with your fame, but come on this is ridiculous! He could have been seriously hurt he was just lucky traffic moves so slow in NYC because it’s so busy and crowded.
I know if I was a celebrity I would be getting sued all the time by paparazzi hounding me, because once I’m in my car you better get out the way or I guarantee you I would be running over your toes.
Is he ok? All you crazed fans are messed up. Lol!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Robert! omg!
OMG
OME!!!!!!I cant Believe that happened!!!! I feel bad though even it wasnt be who did it!!!
Man if he died I wouldve sued the Girls!!
That’s crazy!! People really need to stop all this craziness before someone really gets hurt bad!
-bellaaaaaa
omfg thats is crazy
GOD.! people should know tht…. CELEBRITIES are HUMANS LIKE US they are PEOPLE TOOO like us,. GOSH.
MINA SAN.! if i were there i won’t act tht way and hound celebrities tht way! i feel sad for celebrities. and papparzzi’s GOD when are they going to STOP?
Wow! It must be great to be famous, but this has got to be one of the biggest down falls. Think of everyday life, all the little things we do like go into a book store and you cant do it peacfully because of crazy fans! Thats terrible. People calm down, we need him for future movies!!!
is he alright?
stupid crazed fans(well I am one too) but still I fell so sorry for him I LOVE YOU ROB… he is so hot!!!
that is crazy. these girls that are boy craazy for him need to calm the frek down! they alomost killed him! wtf! i dont know whati wuld have done if he was seriously hurt! he is probaly considering how he treats his fans now! he’s probably guna completly ignore us now cuz he’s afraid he will get killed! everyone needs to calm the F**K down when they are around him. leave him alone untill one day he decides to completly ignore his fans.
ome. That is terrible. I am so glad Rob wasn’t hurt. If I saw Rob at the side of a road trying to cross I wouldn’t shove him onto it. Poor Rob!
Everybody has lives, feelings, and families. Famous people do too, they are just like us and if people are around you like that you’ll go CRAZY! Famous people are LIKE US! Once again, they have lives, feelings, and families just like everyone else in this world.
honestly i think that some of these fans are going way to crazy. yes it woudl be nice to say hi or have a picture or an autograph, but if he doesn’t stop for the first person he isn’t going to stop for the rest of them. but that’s just my opinion.

omg my friend will cry if i tell her gosh people need to calm down if they weren’t screaming and stuff i know that he wouldn’t have been trying to get away from them so fast oh and search at the top of this page buffy and then leave a comment for who would win in a fight Edward or angel
That is so crazy!! Why can’t people just leave them all alone for awhile .He has to be freaking out!!!He is already stalked by everyone and everything he does is under scrutiny. Do they really need to chase him too?
this is a PRIME example of the reason why stars get more stand offish the more famous they get. Show some respect ppl!!!! I love Twilight and all, but would never act like an animal around them. Please give them their space.
His management should have known better than to put the most sought after man in New York City on a visible set in the middle of Summer Break where you know there will be thousands of screaming girls everywhere.
OMG!!!!
i about had a heart attack wen i read that
thank goodness he didnt get hurt
but, i cant believe that happneed
i mean that security guarrd had a point
“You could have killed him.”
(trying to breathe)
I have real sympathy for Rob. From being unknown to mobbed in a matter of months is just…crazy. I can’t even imagine how I would be feeling if I was in his position right now. Thank God that taxi wasn’t driving fast.
that is really pathetic [for the girls i mean], they don’t understand that he is HUMAN and needs privacy like all the rest of us do. hmmm i wonder does this ever happen to Taylor?
Team JakEward!
Yes it is to hard to decide, so have the best of both worlds
good thing nothing serious occured because i dont know what i would do if something bad happend to Robert
Poor guy! This guy needs a vacation from fans. You know you never hear anything like this happening to the other cast members. I understand that girls think he is cute, but COME ON GIVE HIM SOME F*#K SPACE!!!!!!
Fans need to give him some freaking space. He just a regular dude that just happens to work as an actor. Do you go crazy like that for the guy at the grocery store??? No right… So leave him alone people.
I’m just sooooooooooooo glad he is ok!!!!
You know what’s so FREAKIN’ weird? I had a 2 dreams that Robert Pattinson killed himself!!! And look what happens!!! That is just creepy…
omg i personaly dont like him but i hope hes not hurt
geeese! Mandy that must have been a night mare. isaid something in my comment on ashleys interveiw about a week ago about not wanting to say goodbye to any of the cast too soon that wish just narrowly was fufilled.
ok, I know crazy fans can be a problem for all major celebs but it seems the teens/tweens seem to B very much out of hand, they obviously have no respect for others. Perhaps once he starts to work on more mature roles/films he can get away from the tween fan base and he will see an improvement, be able to do what he loves in peace. Admiration of an actor’s ability does not mean mobbing him/her.
I know! It’s nuts, people screaming after celebs like that! Its crazy!! Like, hes still a person!oh, poor Robert!!
Poor rob? He’s the one who wanted to become famous! and thats what he gets, if he has fans what do you expect? do you think they will just stand there and watch him walk by him? NO! and you know what my mom told me? LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET!
OMG HOLY CRAP! I agree with the bodyguard. they could’ve killed him. i would so be sad if my baby died. I just love Robert. I hope you are feeling fine Robert.
what were they thinking? i mean they are people and need their space! i hope he is okay. that bodyguard was so right to well that those fans. i love robert is okay i mean i don’t care if they don’t make the movie he is important tome.
omg this is crazy . .. hope he is fine
omfg… i agree wit Dabi cuz these grls need to take a chill pill and act like they got sum sense. Man, i kno he is hot but damn. you have to kno that he is still a person. These grls are so star-struck. Hope Robert is okay.
WOW-That is all I can say. I know that everyone around the world would love to get a few minutes of Robert’s time but really is it worth getting him nearly hurt or killed? I am just as crazy about him as the next million female fans but Please don’t hurt him. I hope his doing well and my prayers are with all the Twilight cast members. Can’t wait to see New Moon, and I am sure I’ll be seeing other movies that have my favorite Twilight crew in them.
My prayers are with you Robert!!
thank u essence!
no wonder the more famous ppl get the more they ignore there fans! there’re afraid they’ll get killed! and brianna, it wasnt his fault, the fans were mobbing him so he had no choice but to follow his bodygaurds and the bodygaurds were just tryin to get him away from everyone!!!!
OMG i hate crazed fans that chase after rob who almost gets him killed,thats y if i ever see him up close i will jump on him and wrap my legs around him see im smart
OMG!!!!!!!I SOOO HOPE HE’S OK!!!dis fanz r gettin out of control!!!theyre lucky he dint die or elze big prblems were comin theyre way..
i agree with essence i bet if i walked down the street all hell wouldn’t brake lose! im not a screaming psycho bi*** (no offense peeps) that would make rob almost cement suicide cuz thats what he sort of looked like he almost did so psycho chicks lay off because with out rob we will get a guy that looks like kyle xy kay and no one wants him over rob GOSH!
lol.. find that funny…i luv edward but i really dont like rob..hes a HOBO!!!!!!
omg omg omg omg omg i was there when it happened i was standing there i was one of the razed fns omg im in one of the picture lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW, lots of comments on this. lol oh, poor rob. that guy rly needs a break.
marley edelman:which one r u?
those crazed fans are really out of control…good thing that rob is ok.geez, what were they thinking?!..he could have been killed.but thank God he is fine…
oh god………. if i was the cabbie, i wouldve had a heart attack after realizing what i’d done. anyone else i prob would get over eventually, but ROB………. i’d have a complete meltdown. probably make E! News and everything
I kind of agree with Brianna, though the fans did go overboard. But i think the bodyguard was kinda harsh. At first wen i watched the mobbing girls video i thought it was funny. but now its just kinda sad. I feel sorta bad for Rob, u can tell hes real stressed out, but hey he chose to b famous so he better get used to it (though its kind of hard to get used to)
Thank god he’s okay! Those crazy fans are no better than the paparazzi. He could have been seriously injured, or killed. Yes he’s a celebrity and certain aspects of his life will not be as normal as he’d like. But c’mon people, he’s still a human being! Show some respect.
OMG! aww por thing If i were thar i wold have tride to pic him up just to toch him Im not going to lie……but I wlod have felt bad for him :/
he dos not have a good body gard whare was he on time
OME! i hope he feels better soon V^V!
ppl are really going over broad these days , for cryin out loud , the a human just like anyone else >.>! wdH!
LOL
OME!!! OME!!! OME!!! I cried when I red that he can’t get hurt he just can’t!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaa no no no no he can’t get hurt I love him and plus that would make me a widow!!!!
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttt the hell people hes just a guy leave him alone u have to give him peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop gping crazy over him not that hes hot as hell but hes just a guy doing his job lay off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!! my heart sunk to my stomach when i read the heading ………so is he reallly fine ‘
he needs 2 go to the doctor cuz sumtimes hits and bruises can appear after the accident has happened 4real ….. I luv RoB please be careful around him i want 2 see him throught the reat of the films HELLO!! n after 2
I love Twilight but i swear i think these girls need to get a grip. Im i twilight fan but i will never go crazy like that by putting someone in danger. Everyone needs to cool it. Give the stars some air to breathe i mean dang no one really notices him before twilight so why now act like animals…
Whether the story was exaggerated or not, that’s just crazy for people to be hounding him like that! I guess younger teenage girls just don’t understand the anonymity most celebrities want to claim.
Ok, so you catch up with Rob… then what? Do you honestly think he’s gonna make-out with you or something? LOL Get real.
****Isabella Swan – I agree. He was in Harry Potter before and nobody even gave him a second look. Crazy fans *tisk*tisk*tisk*
***CullenFan – LOL I just read your post! I agree. hahahha
***marley edleman – what were you thinking? I wouldn’t be proud that I was a factor of injuring someone. That’s crazy
OMG! if he would have gotten hurt i would be med cuz then he won’t be able to film the rest of the twilight movies I think rob is cute but i would not go crazy like these girls did!!
oh my gosh!! poor robert pattinson!! :0 he is just a person! come on. he lives in the same world and breathes the same air. he just happens to play edward in the movies. leave him alone. some of his fans are a little too crazy over him. i feel sorry for him. give him some space. how would you feel if you could have died like that? pretty afraid and scared huh? well please people give him some space. i wouldn’t be surprised if he stops liking his fans because of how insane they have become. i like robert pattinson! but he’s only human.
OMG! im in ease that rob is fine now.. im a huge fan of twilight andb rob and kristen too.. rob is so handsome.. so i cant blame the fans to react that way.. cause he is really a hot and handsome he makes you dazzled LOL.. im going to scream if i see him too.. but im not going to hounded him specially in the street.. tnx God that rob is fine..
He wanted to be famous so he deserves to be hounded by screaming people! Jeez, and here I thought he became an actor because he loved to act. Here’s an idea. Why don’t people just leave him the F alone.
It really pisses me off when they say that about actors. ‘They should get use to it. If they don’t like all the attention they shouldn’t have become actors.’ UGH! Let them act, let them do their job, let them entertain us and please, for Gods sake, let them live their lives.
Oh, and maybe you wouldn’t remember to look both ways before crossing the road if you had a mob of screaming people after, ready to pretty much strip your freakin clothes off.
I’m glad he’s ok. He’s a great actor, not to mention he’s so freakin handsome! There, I feel better now.
I agree with what everyone said about these stuff, and I don`t need to repeat it.
Those hysterical people and paparazzi totally pisses me off. Grr.
Let`s not do that people. It`s also as if they`re not respecting the person. Well, they`re really NOT. It`s not a good way to treat others, especially when we don`t really know them personally, like celebrities. Respect them, and for sure they would not run away from you like that. For sure.
poor Rob!
things have goten a litel too crazy!
I LOVE ROB, but realy?
pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor
Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooob!
OMG my sister read the news on the internet so she called me and she told me what happend.
she said: Robert Pattinson is hit by a car
then I totaly was stunned
and then I start crying, I was sooo scared he was seriously injured Ö
god thanks he’s allright !
love you Rob !
QMG. This is too much totally outta control. Leave him alonne you psycho B….!!!
I just read on other sate that rob hard a team to guard s of his own … lets hope these body guards do there jobs
poor him. i feel bad for celebs/ like rly. omg leave them alone. papparatzies should get filemed and crowded ALL day by us just to let them know how it feels.
Why? Why? Why? Do we as the public think we own celebrities? The Princess of Wales died because of the Papparazzi. Do we really need to have another death because of crazy people? They have their own lives to live, leave them alone! The characters they play – is just that characters! Meaning they are not real for those people who cannot differentiate between the two! GOSH, grow up and find a life!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
i hate robert pattinson so i was laughing so much!
no offence to robert pattinson lovers
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
well i feel bad for im, but i hate him, so not that much
*** well i feel bad for him, but i hate him, so not that much
thank God nothing bad happen to him,.
but people don’t have to be that crazy if they see a star in front of them.,if this will continue, i’m afraid thatall celebrities would be in the hospital at the same time
omg mii edward got hurt i found out yesterday bout de accident cz ma friend txt me…i was cryin am still soooo depressed!!!!!!!!!
oh n taylor lautner lover your a freakin hater if you dont like him you shudnt even write in here or even laugh bout it would you like it if your freakin taylor got hurt? NO so stp bein a hater!!!!

and why do you hate him ?
he’s cute, frienldy and funny !
give me one good reason why you’re hating him
I’m glad that Rob didn’t get hurt!!
Robert… My poor sweet thing…:”( The girls are freaks! If I saw him I should try to behave so that he could see I am not a freak, so that we could talk without alots of “OMG,CAN I LIKE,TOUCH YOUR HAIR?! I LOVE YOU, OMG OMG OMG!” These girls are crazy. I mean, would these girls say that to a non-famous guy, a non-celebrity? I don’t think so.. It is crazy how they behave!
I probably would have faint if I saw him, or try talking to him and so, but not screaming.. Hell no! I don’t want to be remembered in his mind as “the freaky girl touching his hair”.. So..
Well, hope his not injured from accident, that would make me cry …:’(
:*:*

When i read this i screamed. If he woud have died… I would lock myself in a room,then sew those girls. Ugh! That sickens me.
PURE FREAKIN STUPIDNESS!! I mean they could have gotten him killed.
OME!!!!! I can’t believe girls can be so crushing over a guy and chase him into a CAR! I’m glad his okay and alive, but that is just nuts!
To Alyssa, I think your mind is in the right place but I wouldn’t sue… I’d have killed them (medaforicly speeking), and they’d have felt so, so sorry.
To Taylor Lutner Lover, yeah Taylor is hot and blah, blah, blah, but I have a bigger crush on Robert and how would you feel if it was Taylor and somebody was all ”oh, I don’t like his so it’s so cool.” You have got to know that someone is out there wanting to hit you.
But, yeah, I’m happy his okay.
