In a video posted on website TMZ.com, Kardashian appears to stumble briefly after a person lunges towards her feet.

Bodyguards instantly push Kardashian out of the way and subdue someone who remains off camera.

Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner can be seen yelling “Stop it!”

Ex-journalist Vitalii Sediuk, a former Ukrainian television reporter, told The Associated Press in an email that he is the person in the video, and that he’d only been trying to hug the star.

Mr Sediuk has a history of celebrity pranks and has also been involved in altercations with Brad Pitt, America Ferrera and Jennifer Lopez.

After the Brad Pitt incident, in which he struck the actor at a red carpet premiere, Mr Sediuk was arrested and charged with battery and assault.
