MIAMI, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Paris Hilton is being credited with rescuing a performer dressed as an Oompa Loompa after he suffered a bad leg gash in a mishap at a crowded Miami nightclub.
Robin Sherwood was hurt during a Beacher's Madhouse performance at Cameo nightclub during Art Basel Miami Beach Saturday night, the New York Daily News reported.
A witness told the newspaper the crowd got out of hand and pushed Sherwood -- who was wearing an Oompa Loompa costume, complete with orange makeup, as seen in the 1971 movie, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" -- into a metal stage support which slashed his leg open.
"Paris screamed for help and jumped up to move everyone away from him," the source said. "She held Robin's hand and said the sweetest things to keep him calm. She stayed with him until he was safely in the ambulance on his way to the hospital."
Sherwood was admitted to the hospital where it took 50 stitches to close the wound.
