Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor of California, was brutally attacked by a deranged man while attending an event in South Africa.
Luckily the 71-year-old Schwarzenegger was not injured when this happened. This happened while he was at the Arnold Classic Festival in Sandton.
The man comes running into the video and jumps and kicks Arnold in the back. The "Terminator" was pushed into the crowd.

Arnold tweeted about the situation and even made light of it. Classic Governator!
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 made a request to share the @ArnoldSports athletes instead of the guy who kicked him in the back and wants to be famous.
Do me a favor: instead of sharing the video of the guy who wants to be famous, watch some of our @ArnoldSports athletes like this young hero proving that fitness is for everyone who deserve to be famous. They’re on my Snapchat. pic.twitter.com/EuMynJ7t1n

And in the funniest tweet of them all he asks if it was a block or charge.
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

It's good to see Arnold still has his sense of humor. It is a very unfortunate thing that happened to him and he is still managing to make light of it.
It was good to see someone have his back and act quickly, to make sure no further damage was done.
