Los Angeles Police officer Sally Madera says Vitalii Sediuk was jailed on suspicion of misdemeanor battery yesterday before the premiere of the movie "Maleficent" at the El Capitan Theatre.
After touching Pitt, Sediuk was wrestled away by security guards and led off in handcuffs.
Pitt kept greeting fans and walked into the theater. In February the 25-year-old Sediuk was cited for trespassing after grabbing the microphone before Adele accepted an award at the Grammys.
Sediuk is being held today in lieu of USD 20,000 bail.
