Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked on Saturday by a man who kicked him in the back at a sports event in South Africa that the action hero was hosting.<\/p>\n

The bodybuilder and former former California governor was interacting with fans during a skipping competition at his Arnold Classic Africa sporting event when a man drop-kicked him from behind.<\/p>\n

The attacker, who is known to police for similar incidents in the past, was restrained following the incident.<\/p>\n

71-year-old Schwarzenegger later thanked fans on Twitter for their concern, but insisted there was \u201cnothing to worry about\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for your concerns, but there is nothing to worry about,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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\u2019m just glad the idiot didn\u2019t interrupt my Snapchat.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if you have to share the video (I get it), pick a blurry one without whatever he was yelling so he doesn\u2019t get the spotlight. <\/p>\n
