Nicole Kidman was knocked to the ground and out of her heels by a paparazzo on a bicycle as the man attempted to snap a pic of the actress in New York, yesterday.

The incident occurred outside the Carlyle Hotel in Manhatten, where Kidman was returning after attending the Calvin Klein runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

The cyclist, 19-year-old Carl Wu was a) scared to death of Kidman’s body guard, as demonstrated by this pic:

And b) arrested and rapped over the knuckles for reckless cycling, cycling on a pavement, and cycling without a helmet.

Nicole was just fine.
