Cyclist In Touble Over Nicole Kidman Tumble

[icyfroth]

NICOLE Kidman says she was shaken up after being knocked down by a cyclist on a New York sidewalk.

The Australian actress had been attending the Calvin Klein show for New York Fashion Week and was on her way back to the Carlyle Hotel when she was struck.

TMZ reported the cyclist was a photographer.

Photos posted by TMZ show Kidman lifting herself back onto her feet with the help of an aide and putting her shoes back on.

She reportedly had no visible injuries.

Kidman later said she was OK, but added: “I'm up, I'm walking around, but I was shaken.”

The New York Police Department says a 19-year-old bicyclist was issued three summonses for riding a bike on the sidewalk, riding a bike with no helmet and reckless endangerment.

Very happy fo you too.   What has your lock got to do with Kidman.  And why do you think I would be interested?  Off topic?

I agree he should be charged (as he was) but am disappointed that that was Nicole's first thought.

Interesting that they have to wear bike helmets but not seatbelts in cars

He wasn't even taking pictures, he was riding his bike on the footpath, which he received 3 tickets for. Celebs love and even pay the paparazzi to photograph them when it suits their agenda for publicity purposes.

I think it is only one state which does not have a seatbelt law, but the others seem to be all different in regards to different ages.  It seems very messy and confusing.

Thanks, I hadn't realised that.

They know in advance when they are to be knocked over?

Not a kidman fan but I'd be pretty p*ssed too if that happened to me. looked like a pretty hard knocked, plus being a celeb would freak me out in the first few seconds with in the immediate danger that if was some loony attacking me.
