Los Angeles - A cameraman has been hit by a motorbike after a stunt mishap on the set of Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.
A stuntwoman dressed as Anne Hathaway's character Catwoman was steering the Batpod bike down the steps outside Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh for an action scene involving actors dressed as police officers fighting with fictional crooks when she accidentally collided with the IMAX camera operator.
Luckily, no one was hurt in the accident and the expensive equipment was not damaged.
