Before you Twilight fans freak out, you gotta finish the whole article.

Twilight lead actor Robert Pattinson collided with a Taxi down the street of Manhattan while he was filming ‘Remember Me’ Thursday in New York City. He apparently attempted to run across the street to escape a hoard of fans when he was clipped on his hip by a moving cab, whose driver slammed on his breaks upon impact.

The 23 year old actor did not appear to be injured and walked away from the incident.

Pattinson regularly attracts mobs of fans when they are filming; “It’s been nonstop busy all day with people trying to get a glimpse of him, and crowd goes nuts when they do see him” revealed a source.

As a result, the actor has hired his own security in addition to the bodyguards provided by Summit Entertainment, according to the source, who adds that the heartthrob maintains a positive attitude about his fans.

“I think he appreciates it. He’s not one to make a big deal about it. He’s a chill guy and quiet so far,” the source says. “I think he finds it a little weird that people are standing outside all day to get a glimpse of him, but grateful.”
