What does てくる mean in this sentence


> 私のベッドに寝転がっていた仙台さんが当然のように言って、肩を叩い **てくる**

I know the general grammar behind it meaning change of state and movement but
its my first time seeing it with a verb like 叩く




てくる can be used also with something that is _psychologically_ getting closer
to the observer. In this case, the physical distance traveled (from the bed to
私) may be almost zero, but the act of 叩く itself is something that affects you
psychologically, and that's why くる fits.

> 来る is for something that moves towards the speaker (not necessarily a
> physical movement), or towards another person's viewpoint that the speaker
> adopts.
