‘Serial Prankster’ Attacks Brad Pitt at Movie Premiere

During a premiere for Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent in Los Angeles Wednesday night, Kalifornia star Brad Pitt was attacked on the red carpet.

The alleged perpetrator was Vitalii Sediuk, a so-called “serial prankster” who has rushed celebrities on red carpets before. Security intervened and Sediuk was arrested. As the Daily Mail notes, “his red trousers were nearly pulled down in the fray.”

Pitt is not reported to have been injured. Rumors that this wouldn’t happen if we didn’t make people walk in front of a frothing mass shouting their name went unconfirmed at press time.

Watch the arrest video of the incident, via Daily Mail, below, and stay for the Aussie yelling “Go Brad!”:
