Schwarzenegger Speaks Out After Attack from ‘Idiot’ Who ‘Wants to Be Famous’

Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked by someone who drop-kicked him in the back during a South Africa event earlier today. The governator responded by saying he’s okay and asking that people not give the “idiot” too much oxygen.

People captured video of the attack. The individual who kicked Schwarzenegger was taken by security and appeared to shout, “Help me! I need a Lamborghini!”

Schwarzenegger said the attacker was an “idiot” looking for attention:

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.

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

We have 90 sports here in South Africa at the @ArnoldSports, and 24,000 athletes of all ages and abilities inspiring all of us to get off the couch. Let’s put this spotlight on them.

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
