Gigi Hadid has been attacked by notorious Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk while leaving the Max Mara fashion show in Milan.
Sediuk grabbed the 21-year-old model from behind and lifted her into the air as she and her sister Bella Hadid, 19, walked to their car.
Instead of waiting for a bodyguard, Hadid defended herself by elbowing the serial pest in front of stunned onlookers.

The young fashionista, who is currently dating singer Zayn Malik, shouted after her attacker, "Who the f**k are you, you piece of s**t".
