SPOTTED: Nicole Kidman knocked to the ground by cyclist in New York

Nicole Kidman was knocked over by a man who crashed into her on a bicycle as she returned from a fashion show in New York on Thursday.

The actress was returning to the Carlyle Hotel after attending the Calvin Klein show as part of New York Fashion Week.

Nicole fell to the ground when she was hit by a photographer named Carl Wu, who was apparently racing to try and take a picture for her.

According to TMZ Nicole is furious and wants to press charges against the paparazzo.

Police and an ambulance were called and Nicole was treated for minor injuries.

The star was seen hobbling into her hotel with one shoe on as she escaped from the scene after the nasty spill.

As Nicole walked toward the entrance, cyclist and paparazzo Carl Wu was speeding toward her on his bike.

Witnesses said that as Wu got dangerously close to Nicole, he appeared to hit his brakes, but too late.

He slammed into her and she went crashing to the ground.

Kidman was helped back up and witnesses at the scene said she had not visible injuries.

A police spokesman said he would be issued a ticket for riding his bike on the sidewalk, but would not be arrested for a criminal offence.
