“Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her against the bathroom wall,” the text reads, according to Variety. “Pitt hit the roof of the plane several times, forcing Jolie out of the bathroom.”
“When one of the children verbally defended Jolie, Pitt attacked his own son and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him,” the court report adds.
“To free himself from Jolie, Pitt threw himself backwards against the seats, injuring Jolie in the back and elbow,” he details.

“Pitt hanged one of his sons and hit another in the face. Some children asked him to stop. They were very scared. Several were crying.”
The actor, who has had decades of success in Hollywood, was investigated by federal authorities, the document continues, but no charges were filed. AFP contacted Pitt's representatives for comment on the latest allegations, but there was no response.
Jolie began the legal procedures for the divorce a few days after the flight.
