Gigi Hadid had a scary moment after leaving a Milan fashion show when a stranger manhandled.

Hadid was wading through a sea of fans and paparazzi with sister Bella when the stranger picked her up and cradled her in his arms before the supermodel managed to fight him off. 

The man has since been identified as notorious red carpet crasher Vitalii Sediuk who has reportedly invaded the personal space of celebrities such as Will Smith, Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio in the past. 

Hadid was critised by some for her response to the incident however the star quite rightly took to Twitter to defend herself and reaffirm the fact that she had every right to defend herself.
