NEW YORK — “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson escaped serious injury Thursday when he was struck by a taxicab in New York City.
According to eyewitnesses, the 23-year-old actor was hit after leaving the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street, where had been inside shooting his new movie, “Remember Me.” Pattinson was attempted to evade a hoard of fans when he stepped into the street and the cab struck his hip.
Despite being struck, the heartthrob was not seriously injured.
Fans have been flocking to see Pattinson all week in New York City during shooting of the film, which also stars “Lost” actress Emilie de Ravin.
“People have been going crazy just trying to catch a glimpse of him,” said one eyewitness.
