Washington, Sept 26 - Kim Kardashian was tackled and almost knocked to the ground during a Paris Fashion Week event.

The 33-year-old reality TV star, who had arrived at the event with husband Kanye West and mom Kris Jenner, was tackled by a guy after he lunged at her feet and tried to pull her to the ground as she stepped out of her car, TMZ. com reported.

The security officials present at the scene jumped right in and subdued the guy before escorting Jenner and her daughter to the building.

Rumours are rife that the attacker may be Vitalii Sediuk, the Ukrainian prankster who did the same thing to Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Will Smith, and according to his rep, Sediuk is taking credit for lunging at Kardashian. (ANI)
