Robert Pattinson clipped by a taxi

Those Twilight fans are vicious. You’d think 200 lb. 13-year-old mouth breathers and black clad teeny boppers in knee-high boots would be pretty easy to evade. They’d either stop to catch their breath after a block or faint from heat exhaustion. But, no. They’re evolving.

Little did he know that the rabid fans chasing him through New York were herding him into oncoming traffic in a bid to slow him down long enough to pounce. As Pattinson ran in front of Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street during his escape, he was clipped by a cab. The driver slammed on the breaks and Pattinson was only bumped in the hip. One of the bodyguards attempted to shame the fans into submission. He shouted, “You see what you did, you almost killed him!” The two minutes of stunned gasping and hysterical crying provided them with enough time to escape.
