Tom Hanks has been filmed ‘screaming at fans after his wife was injured by a mob’ in a viral video.
The Cast Away star was walking through New York City with his spouse, Rita Wilson, on June 15 when the shocking moment happened.
Hanks and Wilson were leaving a restaurant when a large crowd surrounded them, with one person getting too close to his wife, resulting in her tripping.

At this point, Wilson began to wobble on her feet and could be heard yelling: “Stop it!”
Hanks quickly rushed over to check his wife was okay, before turning on the crowd and screaming: “My wife? Back the f*** up! Knocking over my wife?!”
After the outburst, Hanks and Wilson speedily walked over to a nearby car.
It’s believed that after the actor lectured the crowd one called out: “Sorry about that!”
Earlier this week, Hanks was interviewed by The New York Times, in which he discussed his 1993 Oscar-winning role, Philadelphia.
In the film, he portrays a young gay man who is dying of AIDS.

He told the publication that if the movie was made today, he would not be able to play such a character.
Explaining himself, Hanks said: “Let’s address ‘Could a straight man do what I did in Philadelphia now?’. No, and rightly so.”
He went on to say that the industry is ‘beyond that now,’ adding: “The whole point of Philadelphia was don’t be afraid. One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy.”
