Arnold Schwarzenegger was drop-kicked in the back while taking photos with fans during a sporting event in South Africa, according to a video posted on Twitter.
In the video posted Saturday, the Terminator can be seen taking a video before turning to the fans. Then, a person in the background drop-kicks the actor, who goes flying into the crowd. Security is seen wrestling the attacker to the ground.
Someone is heard yelling, “help me,” repeatedly in the background. According to The Sandton Chronicle, Schwarzenegger is in Sandton, South Africa, for a sporting event called the Arnold Classic Africa.
Schwarzenegger took to Twitter to address fans’ concerns, writing: “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.”
