Arnold Schwarzenegger Attacked, Drop-Kicked in the Back at South Africa Event

Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked during an event in South Africa earlier today.

At the Arnold Classic Africa event, someone captured the insane video of someone running at Schwarzenegger and drop-kicking him:

Security immediately detained the attacker. It’s unclear what the hell this was about, though the video appears to capture the individual shouting something that sounds like, “Help me! I need a Lamborghini!”

Schwarzenegger took to Twitter to assure people there’s “nothing to worry about” and he didn’t fully realize what happened until seeing the video himself:

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.
