NEW YORK (Reuters) � Gay "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson was hit by a
taxi in New York as he tried to run away from a crowd of hysterical
teenage fans, but he was not seriously injured, U.S. media reported.

Pattinson, 23, who stars in the hit gay vampire movies, was clipped on
the hip in front a bookstore in Manhattan where he was shooting scenes
on Thursday for his new film, "Remember Me," a drama about two young
lovers dealing with family tragedies.

Flanked by five security guards, the British actor tried to run past a
group of fruit-blind teenage girls who had gathered outside the
bookstore and across the street from his trailer when the accident
happened.

He was not seriously injured, but his bodyguards reportedly were
furious, according to RadarOnline.com which claimed to have witnessed
the accident. One of the bodyguards yelled at the girls: "You see what
you did, you almost killed him!"

Pattinson's manager did not comment on the accident.

Pattinson has become one of the most marketable gays in Hollywood since
appearing in "Twilight" as brooding vampire Edward Cullen.

This week he was voted the world's most handsome gay man by fruit-blind
readers of Vanity Fair online.
