Rob was hit by the car but he's ok

ome, I got totally worried about this as soon as I read it few secs ago! I would be so pissed off if somebody would hurt Rob! I would just hunt them down and hit by car 100 times more although I can't drive but I don't care!

Anyway, I don't know anything more as I haven't read the articles. I'll read as I post them.

Robert Pattinson Hit By a Cab in NYC - He is FINE- Updated
According to RobPattzNews:
NY UPDATE: Cab incident is confirmed. Story is true. But he's fine, "not hurt at all."

An eye witness account from twitter:

Tweet right after the incident: anniecm : Rob Pattinsons security just walked him into oncoming traffic and got him hit by a cab! Fire them!
Or maybe let him see where he's goinggg


Tweets after we announced the news: anniecm : @ROBsessedBlog There was only one pap and about 6 girls there - his security guard led him into the street too fast and the cab bumped him.

anniecm : @ROBsessedBlog It was the paparazzi snapping pix, Robs face covered by hood/umbrella, tryin to get away -into oncoming traffic

ROBsessedBlog: @anniecm So he wasn't running away from anyone? It was the over eager bodyguard?

anniecm@ROBsessedBlog They were rushing him, but no fans were doing anything. There was one crazy paparazzi and about 6 girls trailing behind him

Twilight and New Moon star Robert Pattinson nudged by a cab filming Remember Me in NYC, not hurt

Robert Pattinson, star of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and (currently filming) Remember Me has been hit by a taxi-cab, reports say.

Radar Online just reported the story that "he was hit by a taxi cab on Thursday while running away from hysterical fans!"

Says RO,

RadarOnline.com witnessed the Twilight star get clipped by a cab around noon in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street.

He was not hurt.

The 23-year-old London-born actor had been inside most of the morning filming scenes for his new movie Remember Me.

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 happened.

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!"

It's a good thing Pattinson was not injured as a result of this incident. The reports on this matter are, undoubtedly, overly exaggerating the event. With Pattinson un-injured, there is no further cause for concern at this time.

This week's earlier incident of girls groping him (photos of that available here) and today's news only goes to show that fandom of this star can get a little out of hand. While this incident has not rendered Pattinson harmed or interrupted filming of the movie, fans should be very careful in how they choose to show their appreciation of this actor's work, and, especially, give him personal space and professional courtesy.

OME! What the Hale? I almost died when I saw this, lol. He'd better be better than okay!

so ok, it was taxi. And the girls were chasing him. Damn, those girls! They will kill him! Why they just don't let him be! Ok, stand there, ok, scream if you want so much but don't run and jump on the poor guy

Rob is paranoid enough cause of crowds now he will be just freaked out

I know! I'm crazy about him and I totally love him, but I would never do anything more than like ask for an autograph or something. What the heck? That's so stupid! I hate people who are just like over the top and psycho. Rob needs to have like a whole squad of security guards. Poor guy. He's like as paranoid as I am.

OMG LAZZY! you just about freaking killed me!

whose up for a trip to new york to follow those bitches around! see if they like it! poor rob!

Count me in, Mary! We're gonna beat their skinny asses.

i seriously want too. i dont care if we see rob or not (although it WOULD be nice). someone needs to teach those girls a little freaking respect!

I KNOW! Why are they so stupid? They could've killed our boyfriend!

Summit just released this: "Robert Pattinson is fine The reports are exaggerated&the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues."


Well I am not sure... Fans chasing him, paps are there. That's why he has that big umbrella and he doesn't see where he goes. I am just wonder where the Hale was security's eyes? But then again maybe they didn't want to stop/. But if there were traffic jam or anything.... Well thanx God taxu driver saw him and stopped on time :o

He needs better security. Geez. That's so stupid.

shouldnt his security have been around him?! how the hell did the cab hit him but none of them! more of a reason to fire them and hire us!

Maybe they were trying to block the crowd, but he still should've had at least ONE person there.

UPDATE: Despite the fact that Robert Pattinson was supposedly hit by a cab running from insane stalkers, not to mention that alarming security breach that left Pattz straight-up vulnerable to the crazy fans, Summit, the studio Rob's currently working for while filming Remember Me in New York, reveals it isn't overly worried. A spokesperson for the studio states:

"Robert Pattinson is fine. The reports are exaggerated, and the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues."

The Summit rep refused to say what did cause the cabbie accident, or whether or not additional precautions were being taken for Pattinson. Jeez, why the hell not? But first, a disclaimer: Sources where Rob was filming, as well as bystanders, tell us they did not see the accident. Remember, Radar also "broke" that Kristen Stewart's boyfriend was chasing her around Italy (uh, didn't happen).

Now, back to R.Pattz's safety. What say you Summit insiders?

"We're taking it as it unfolds," says a source deep within Summit, who, for the moment, declined to release any official statement on Pattinson's personal safety during filming. "Security has been increased," adds our in-the-know insider. "But there's no grand plan."

What! Are you kidding? The most sought-after star in the whole friggin' world right now just seems a little too accessible, don't you think? Plus, we're told Summit isn't exactly keen on addressing the incidents, as it doesn't want to exacerbate the situation. Nor is it revealing, at this point, exactly what its "increased" protection game plan happens to be. Dunno ‘bout you, but "taking it as it unfolds" seems to be asking for super trouble to us.

I mean, what's next? Getting hit by a bus? And what if some nut job gets all Lohan-on-Ronson stalk-stupid after Rob's cute little behind?

How crappy that studio peeps try to control who their stars can and can't bed, but at the same time, can't control their stars' safety? Not cool.

The bad news first: RadarOnline.com is reporting that Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi cab in NYC today while running away from hysterical fans.

The good news: The Remember Me star is totally fine, and sources tell OK! he wasn't actually touched by the car.


R-Pattz had his close call around noon outside a shooting location for his new flick, as a crowd of hysterical teenage girls swarmed him on his way out of a store.

Security guards tried to help him, hustling him across the street to his trailer, but the taxi grazed past him as he crossed the street, slamming on the brakes.

"The cab didn't hit him. It came close, but it's New York, that's what happens," an on-set source tells OK!. "It barely touched him. He maybe put his hand on the cab but he's fine. They all just went to lunch."

One of his bodyguards made sure there was no bodily harm done to Rob first, then screamed at the girls, "You see what you did, you almost killed him!"

Let that be a lesson to you, obsessed Twilight fanatics: We know you love R-Pattz, we love him too, he knows you love him, so let's give him some breathing room and keep him safe.

Wow. Geez. I'm still pissed off. That shouldn't happen, even in New York. Or even come CLOSE to happening. What if the gorgeous aldente was bruised!?!

I seriously think those girls will think twice before stalking him next time. But I kind of thing they don't care. They are being very selfish to get Rob not thinking about his safety

I know! They're stupid. That's so not cool. I would've punched them all if I was there. I wouldn't even care if they all filed police reports for their stupid broken noses.

so they probably feel guilty! but now they just need their asses kicked. lets go sophie! ill steal my moms car and come get you!

Sweet! I'm ready, Mary! We're gonna go kill a few stupid people.

i suppose we could pick up rai on the way if we leave now and she could just fly out of new york or something lol! the rest of you gotta fly in! wooo!

Woo! I'm so pissed though. That is not okay ever! Poor Rob.

i know! although it cant have been ALL the fans fault. i would take crazy fans over being hit by a car. they shouldnt have led him out into the road without looking. although im still going to kick those girls's asses!

Imagine, Rob was so down to earth, so open and everything. I am afraid he would start to hide out from public at all. You know like all those celebrities who buys their villas and pays ppl to go for shopping for them.

That made Rob to be more accessible if you know what I mean. More like a buddy, in your level.

Rob had better not go into hiding! He needs to get out. Poor guy though. That's so horrible! I feel like murdering someone.

Report from fan who was there:

Obviously after today's cab incident, we first of all are relieved Rob is okay. But it does put the attention on what role do we the media, paparazzi and fans, played in what happened in New York. While the original source of the report Radar Online put the blame on the fans, we also heard from a fan who was there.

This is what she exclusively told RobPattzNews:
"Everyone was waiting outside for Rob. At this time there were only about 5 or 6 fans and one paparazzi. Rob came out and as usual he had his hood up, was covered by an umbrella, and surrounded by about 6 guards. The girls were all following behind Rob and because of the commotion, a few people on the streets may have also been following or looking. NO ONE even tried to touch Rob, & from what I could tell, no one was even snapping pictures in his face except for this one paparazzi who had been hanging around outside the building all day. He was crouching on the ground snapping pictures behind Rob's umbrella, Rob was hiding his face. Some of the security guards were moving very quickly, causing their little circle that was protecting Rob to break up. Soon one guard was guiding Rob by the shoulders and led him across a street where there was a red light and moving traffic. I was right behind him at this point and saw the entire thing happen. The cab was coming quickly but saw them jump in front of it, so the cabbie slammed on his breaks. Rob was tapped a little in the hip, but they kept going. Rob then went into his trailer. The security guards were yelling at everyone and saying everyone was chasing him, but really no one even tried to touch him and there were honestly about 10 people absolute maximum trying to see him. Then the guards also made the fans move away from the trailer but let that obnoxious paparazzi stand outside of his trailer so he could snap pix the next time Rob came out. Its unfair that these people would blame the fans outside. First of all, there were only about 6 girls and none were crazy teenagers. No one yelled to him or tried to touch him at all. The security guard apologized afterwards for flipping out, he said that they were just trying to be overly cautious after Monday's fan incident".

Ok, then security just grabbed him making him crossing street with red light? Is he seriously a security or killer? ok, maybe I am over reacting but if fans didn't chase him, didn't scream, didn't jump on him, why they needed to cross street with red light? Ok, I also cross street with red light but t least I see if cars are not driving rather than pulling somebody under the car!

I don't know why but I kind of tought about Rob's mom. How she felt when she read the news she probably was scared to death.

Okay, so basically it was a big exaggeration for the most part. But still! That's so not cool!
