Pitt with wife and Maleficent star Angelina Jolie
A man was led away in handcuffs after attacking Brad Pitt at the Hollywood premiere of the movie Maleficent. Pitt was apparently unhurt and soon resumed signing autographs.
Witnesses saw the man from the fan area jump over a barrier to the red carpet at the El Captain Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday. He then proceeded to rush at Pitt and attempt to punch the 50-year-old in the face.
police take Sediuk away after attack on Pitt
Who’s this man? His name is Vitalii Sediuk, a 25-year-old Ukrainian journalist with a penchant for trouble and has apparently made a name for himself causing mischievous pranks at the expense of celebrities. According to this article from nydailynews, Pitt wasn’t his first victim. He went streaking at the Met Gala, gave Leonardo DiCaprio a rather awkward crotch-hug, groping Bradley Cooper, and many other uncalled for and frankly uncomfortable acts.
According to Variety, Security guards held Sediuk until the LAPD could take him into custody. LAPD Sgt. Leonard Calderon said he was taken to the Hollywood police station and booked the prankster on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. His bail is being set for $20,000.
Hopefully they’ll be able to stop this fame-crazed joker from ruining another event in the future, but as for now Pitt seems unscathed and everyone else is fine as well.
