Brad Pitt knocked off his motorcycle by paparazzi

The star hit the ground in Hollywood yesterday

Brad Pitt was thrown from motorcycle in Los Angeles, yesterday after swerving to avoid paparazzi.

The star was weaving through traffic on the custom-made bike when a photographer inched his car a little too close. Brad swerved to avoid the photographer's car, clipping the wing mirror of a parked vehicle and eventually losing his balance, ending up on the floor.

But instead of causing a scene, onlookers said he simply picked himself up and wheeled his bike to the side of the road.

Luckily the heartthrob wasn't injured, but it wasn't such a lucky escape for the bike which was later seen being towed home on a truck.

After exchanging insurance details with the driver whose car he clipped, poor Brad then had to wait by the side of the road for an assistant to pick him up.

Well known for his love of bikes, just last week a brand new gold and chrome bike was seen being delivered to the home he shares with Angelina Jolie.

The star has previously revealed he uses motorcycles to escape the media glare as they allow him to slip into the crowd.

Maybe this time it didn't go quite to plan then Brad?
