PARIS, France — Serial celebrity prankster Vitalii Sediuk has struck again, this time at Paris Fashion Week, targeting Kim Kardashian's derriere as she was entering the L'Avenue restaurant.

Kardashian's makeup artist caught the Wednesday incident in a video that he posted to his Instagram account.

It shows the reality television star negotiating her way through a crowd of paparazzi past her black car, as Sediuk, a former Ukrainian television reporter, swoops in and seems to attempt to kiss Kardashian's posterior.

The security detail is seen reacting immediately and pulling the prankster to the floor.

Paris police said that they had no immediate indication a formal complaint had been filed.

Sediuk also accosted model Gigi Hadid at Milan Fashion Week saying it was a form of protest against the use of celebrity models.
