Nicole Kidman is reportedly pressing charges against the paparazzo who knocked her to the ground as she left a fashion show in New York yesterday.

Nicole had just left the Calvin Klein show and was heading back to the Carlyle Hotel when freelance photographer Carl Wu bowled her over on his bike.

TMZ reports the paparazzo was speeding down the footpath and attempted to brake when he saw Nicole, but couldn’t stop in time and knocked her over.

Onlookers rushed to help Nicole back onto her feet. Footage appears to show Nicole was in pain after the incident and she was later treated for minor injuries to her ankle.

Witnesses have reported she was furious about the accident and is planning to press charges against Wu, who was also knocked to ground.

Wu has had run-ins with other celebrities including Lady Gaga. He was arrested and charged with riding on the footpath but was released shortly afterwards.

Nicole has also clashed with the paparazzi before, taking Sydney photographer Jamie Fawcett to court over a listening device she alleged he planted outside her Sydney home in 2005.
