Fight Club! Brad Pitt attacked at Maleficent premiere
A man, later identified as Vitalii Seduik, leapt over a barrier at the star-studded screening heading straight for Brangelina.
He lunged for the 50-year-old actor despite being surrounded by several burly security guards and in the presence of the world's media.
The attacker's fist managed to make contact, but authorities acted quickly to prevent further violence.
Los Angeles Police Department arrested Sediuk for misdemeanour battery and he remained in a police cell overnight.
He is currently being held pending payment of $20,000 bail.“The officers who were handling him said it looked like it was intentional, but at this point it remains to be determined”LAPD Spokesperson
LAPD Hollywood spokesperson Sergeant Leonard Calderon revealed: "The officers who were handling him said it looked like it was intentional, but at this point it remains to be determined."
It's not yet known if Brad Pitt intends to press charges.
Seduik is a 25-year-old television reporter from the Ukraine who has a history of causing havoc at red carpet events.
And Will Smith failed to see the funny side when Seduik planted a kiss on his cheek.
The Hancock star famously gave him a little slap.
Perhaps he likes to be wined and dined first...
