Los Angeles: Prosecutors announced charges on Friday against a notorious Ukrainian prankster who allegedly punched Brad Pitt in the face at a Hollywood red carpet event this week.
Vitalii Sediuk, who knocked Pitt's sunglasses off at the premiere of his wife Angelina Jolie's new film "Maleficent," faces charges of assault, battery and unlawful activity at and interference of a theatrical event.
Prosecutors also want an order requiring the 25-year-old to stay away from entertainment industry events, on top of a five-day restraining order banning him from approaching Pitt, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office said.
He made contact with Pitt's face, knocking his sunglasses off, but neither the actor nor Jolie seemed fazed by the altercation.
At this year's Cannes film festival, he burst onto the red carpet, threw himself to the ground and put his hands around "Ugly Betty" actress America Ferrera's ankles for a few seconds.
In February 2013, he gatecrashed the Grammy music awards, going up on stage after presenter Jennifer Lopez read out Adele's name.
