Poor Rob Pattinson. Vampire Boy nearly lost his skin on the streets of NYC yesterday. The Twilight heartthrob created a frenzy when a mob of crazed fans spotted the star during a break from filming on his upcoming movie, Remember Me, in Manhattan Monday. It took multiple body bodyguards to fend off hoards of screaming girls tearing each other’s hair out for the chance to get a glimpse of Pattz — or the chance to get their hands on something they can auction off on eBay.

In this video clip posted on YouTube, one fan attempted to hug the Twilight star only to be shut down by the star’s burly bodyguard.

“You could tell it was all starting to get to him, especially the hecklers,” an onlooker tells OK!

“He’s been as friendly as possible to everyone, he even nicely brushed off a swarm of girls trying to get a picture with him, but after all the commotion, he needed to take a break for some personal time.”
