Doesn't Edward know he can just stop the taxis with his hand?

Twilight's Robert Pattinson was reportedly hit by a taxi in NYC today, while trying to make a getaway from hoards of screaming fans.

According to a source, Rob was attempting to run across a busy Manhattan street when he was hit from the side by a yellow cab. Luckily the driver slammed on his breaks and Rob wasn't injured -- in fact, he was able to just walk away from the incident unscathed.

Just like Edward!

The craziness surrounding Rob's time in New York has resulted in the actor's hiring of private bodyguards, in addition to the ones provided by Summit Entertainment on the set of his new movie Remember Me.

Though this is the second nutty fan incident this week (Monday he was also chased and mobbed by fans), Rob seems to be taking it all in stride.

"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," a source said. "I think he finds it a little weird that people are standing outside all day to get a glimpse of him, but grateful."

Please, people! Give the man some breathing room so he doesn't feel the need to throw himself in front of moving vehicles.
