Kiddie fans of the bloodsucker Vampire series "Twilight" waited hours to see hunky actor Robert Pattinson in San Francisco's Stonestown Galleria yesterday, but when things got ugly cops came in to clear out the developing mosh pit.
The rough crowd of 3,000 tweens and teenage girls had turned out hoping for an autograph or a glimpse of Pattinson at the meet and greet. But when the large mob all tried to get into the mall at the same time, hilarity ensued.
The problem was that event planners had not anticipated such a turnout to see Pattinson, who first gained notice when he played Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." They were thinking a few hundred fans would show up.
When the kids started crushing each other in a push to get to the front, several girls fell or fainted, and a few received minor injuries including a broken nose.
No arrests were made and the event was canceled for obvious reasons. OMG. What will it be like when the film actually opens in December?
