MANHATTAN — It’s Ryan Gosling to the rescue — again.

The hunky actor apparently swooped in and saved a woman from stepping into Manhattan traffic Tuesday, the grateful gal tweeted.

 “I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling,” British journalist Laurie Penny wrote of the ordeal. “Literally. That actually just happened.”

She followed up to say she was crossing Sixth Avenue at the time when the “Drive” star stopped her from getting struck by a passing cab.

“I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London,” she wrote. “Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi.”

This latest heroic act comes after the Oscar nominee was caught on tape breaking up a street fight in the East Village last year, earning swoons across the city.

The actor’s publicist did not return multiple requests for comment, but Penny claimed another woman witnessed the incident, telling her, “you lucky b----.”

News of Gosling’s gallantry spread quickly — enough for the woman to tell the press and the hearthrob's fans to back off.

“EVERYBODY NEEDS TO CALM DOWN ABOUT RYAN GOSLING NOW,” she tweeted a day after the incident.

“No seriously. My phone and email have been going crazy with media requests all night and all morning and it's getting silly now.”
