The 50-year old movie star struck back before police [arrested the attacker](http://www.justjared.com/2014/05/28/brad-pitt-gets-punched-by-ukrainian-man-at-malecifent-premiere/). LAPD has not confirmed or released the identity of the attacker, but it is reported that he resembles Vitalii Sediuk, the man who tried to dive underneath America Ferrera’s dress at Cannes, and who stormed the stage at the 2013 Grammys. The exchange left Pitt unharmed. \[[_NYPost_](http://pagesix.com/2014/05/28/brad-pitt-punched-in-the-face-on-red-carpet/)\] **Correction:** The original version of this story misstated Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s marital status.
