( CNN ) -- Brad Pitt has a warning for his accused attacker , Vitalii Sediuk : `` If he tries to look up a woman 's dress again , he 's going to get stomped . '' That 's what the actor said on Monday in a statement released to People magazine , referring to the former Ukrainian TV reporter who has had two recent run-ins with actors at red carpet events . On May 28 , Sediuk jumped the rope on the red carpet at the `` Maleficent '' movie premiere and attacked Pitt . Earlier that month , Sediuk went after actress America Ferrera , jumping under her dress on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet . That incident resulted in his being fired from his position with Ukrainian television channel 1+1 , and Sediuk was later charged with one count of battery , one count of assault and two violations of the Los Angeles municipal code following his altercation with Pitt . In his statement , Pitt gave his version of what happened between him and Sediuk as the actor strolled the red carpet in support of the film starring his partner , Angelina Jolie . `` I was at the end of the line signing autographs , when out the corner of my eye I saw someone stage-diving over the barrier at me , '' Pitt said in his statement . `` I took a step back ; this guy had latched onto my lapels . I looked down and the nutter was trying to bury his face in my crotch , so I cracked him twice in the back of the head -- not too hard -- but enough to get his attention , because he did let go . I think he was then just grabbing for a hand hold because the guys were on him , and he reached up and caught my glasses . '' The `` Benjamin Button '' star went on to say that Sediuk 's actions might influence how celebrities interact with the public in the future . `` I do n't mind an exhibitionist , '' Pitt said , `` but if this guy keeps it up he 's going to spoil it for the fans who have waited up all night for an autograph or a selfie , because it will make ( celebrities ) more wary to approach a crowd .
