Arnold Schwarzenegger attacked

Former California Governor and Hollywood actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger who is 71 years old was kicked on his back at a sports event in South Africa on Saturday.

The former governor was hosting the event at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg and was interacting with his fans when an unidentified man kicked him on his back.

However, the attack didn't lead to any injury to the Terminator star ashis fans immediately protected him when he stumbled forward after the attack. Helater requested his fans to focus on the athletes instead of the attack.

The attacker was handed over to the police officers, as said by the eventofficials.

Schwarzenegger later tweeted and thanked his fans for theirconcern and confirmed that there was nothing to worry.

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.

 He also posted a video footage on Tweeter where he was posing for photos at the Johannesburg event when the man attacked him with a flying kick.

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
