Brad Pitt Attacked At Hollywood Premiere Of "Maleficent"

After being one of the last to happily arrive to the blue carpet hand-in-hand with his lady Angelina Jolie for the Hollywood premiere of his wife's movie, Maleficent, Actor Brad Pitt found himself in a very awkward and almost physical situation yesterday May 28th.

He was allegedly struck in the face by notorious celebrity 'prankster' Vitali Sediuk as he was signing autographs at the movie premiere. The 25 year old jumped the barricade and attacked the actor. Sediuk has a history of confronting celebrities at red carpet events and in 2012, he was slapped by actor Will Smith after he attempted to kiss Smith during a movie premiere. Only recently at the Cannes premiere of "How to Train Your Dragon 2", Sediuk put his head up America Ferrara's dress hoping to break through security to get into the premiere.

In the past he's hugged actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper around the knees at separate events. Sediuk was held by security guards and then taken away by officers from the Los Angeles Police Department to the nearby Hollywood police station where he is likely to be charged with misdemeanor battery. Pitt was said to be unharmed and continued to sign autographs.
