Your friendly neighborhood Tom Holland recently had to go full-superhero on a gang of autograph hunters, who in their fight to get the SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME actor's John Hancock, were seen crushing a young girl who claimed to be having a panic attack. Like a fine and upstanding celeb, Holland was having none of it, and threatened to throw the "graphers" shit to the ground if they did not cease their douche-canoe display.
All of the action was caught on video by the young woman in jeopardy, who goes by @namelesscass on Twitter.
“I will throw your shit on the floor if you keep pushing that girl,” said Holland, as he brandished a pen in the faces of those responsible for the young woman's cries for help.
Not long after the incident, @namelesscass recounted the frightening experience on Twitter. You can read the details of the New York signing below:

Much like the most invasive of paparazzi, "graphers" are seen by many celebs to be the dregs of fan society. Their primary goal when attending a fan-oriented signing is to have the celebrity in question autograph a series of items that are then sold to the highest bidder online. They're the Ebenezers of Ebay. The criminals of Craigslist. The killjoys of Kijiji. Do yourself a favor and don't give them any of your hard-earned cash, as the products they sell are typically obtained through nefarious means, and no autograph is worth the health and safety of a bonafide fan.
Marvel and Disney's SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME is set to web-swing into theaters on July 2.
