Former bodybuilding champion and Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked by a fan at the Arnold Classic Africa Festival in Sandton, South Africa.
The former Governor of California was attending the sporting event Arnold Classic Africa when a person kicked him in the back. The incident occurred at the Sandton Convention Centre.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was taking photographs with fans and judging a skipping competition when a young man attacked him from the back.
In the video which is making rounds on social media, also shows the fan being quickly detained by security guards and the 71-year-old actor can be seen leaving the Sandton Convention Centre moments later.
Taking to Twitter, Schwarzenegger thanked everyone for their concerns and appeared to be OK.
“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,” – Arnold tweeted.
