Kim Kardashian had a scary encounter with a crazed fan in Paris. A video just emerged on the internet, showing the E! reality TV star was tackled by a guy identified as Vitalii Sediuk, the infamous red carpet prankster who accosted the likes of Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, and Leonardo DiCaprio in the past.

Kim was on her way to Balmain show with her husband Kanye West and momager Kris Jenner when the incident happened. The trio was greeted by a throng of screaming fans and photographers. She suddenly lost her balance after stepping out of the car and almost got knocked to the ground as someone grabbed her legs.

One of her bodyguards quickly came to her aid and caught her before she fell, while the other supposedly subdued the assailant. Her mother yelled "Stop it!" while her rapper husband could only look on the commotion over the hood from the other side of the car. As soon as he was near, he put a protective arm around his shaken wife.

"I hope Kim is OK and won't be mad at me as I didn't mean any harm. Kanye is one lucky man as Kim is a goddess!" Sediuk told MailOnline after the incident. "The prank with Kim was my protest that US banned me from entering the country." He got banned by a judge and also lost his job after attacking Pitt at "Maleficent" premiere.
