Former California governor and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked at an event in South Africa.

Schwarzenegger was interacting with fans during a skipping competition at his Arnold Classic Africa sporting event when a man came running and kicked him from behind.

The attacker was restrained following the incident and handed over to police officers.

Thanks for your concerns, but there is nothing to worry about. I thought I was just jostled by the crowd, which happens a lot. I only realized I was kicked when I saw the video like all of you. I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat.

And if you have to share the video (I get it), pick a blurry one without whatever he was yelling so he doesn’t get the spotlight.

By the way… block or charge? pic.twitter.com/TEmFRCZPEA
