People.com reports that Robert Pattinson was hit by a cab this morning while running across the street to get away from a “hoard of fans”.  The cab allegedly clipped him on the hip, but Rob was able to walk away from the scene without any major injury.

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 mentality about his fan base.

“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.”

Stay safe Rob!
