Brad Pitt has opened up about his red carpet attacker and called him a "nutter".
Speaking about the incident, the 50-year-old American actor said that he was signing autographs when the notorious Ukranian former journalist Vitalii Sediuk jumped a police barrier and tried to bury his face in his crotch, People Magazine reported.
The 'Fight Club' star, who was attending the premiere of his fiance Angelina Jolie's new flick 'Maleficent', added that he cracked the "nutter" twice in the back of the head after which he tried to reach up and catch his glasses before getting arrested.
Pitt admitted that such incidents will only make actors wary of interacting with their fans, who have wait up all night for an autograph or a selfies, and also, if Sediuk tries to look up a woman's dress again, he's going to get stomped.
