Kim Kardashian has denied claims that she was attacked by a man who was pictured nearly crashing into her in the street.

The reality star spoke out to defend the passer-by following an awkward run-in outside a Los Angeles restaurant on Saturday night, saying that she ‘hopes he’s okay’.

“So @JonathanCheban just called me & asked if I was ok & read online I was attacked outside of Mr. Chow. Totally not true! Such weird rumors,” she wrote on Twitter on Monday morning.

“A random guy walks near me & almost bumped into me but he hit the parking meter. Not attacked me. Hope he's ok!”

Kardashian, 36, was pictured looking shocked as a man wearing a backpack appeared to walk straight into her as she left Mr Chow at the weekend.

The TV star’s bodyguard was quick to react, grabbing the man by the neck of his t-shirt in an attempt to force him to the ground.

It’s unclear whether the man, who was on his phone and wearing sunglasses, walked into the group accidently.

Kardashian recently admitted that she’s still recovering after being robbed at gunpoint while in Paris last October.

During an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she said that she had feared for her life when she was bound, gagged and robbed of a reported £9 million worth of jewellery by a group of men at her Parisian apartment.

“They had the gun up to me and I knew they were just going to shoot me in the head,” she said.
