Arnold Schwarzenegger – The former Governor of California was the judge of a skipping competition when the unnamed coward pounced.
Dramatic footage showed the attacker bounce off the former Mr Universe – who didn’t realise he had been attacked until he saw the video afterwards.
Arnold Schwarzenegger tumbled forward into a crowd of people while the man who kicked him was quickly pinned down by security at the event, held in a posh suburb of Johannesburg.
A video of the attack at the Arnold Classic Africa event showed the man being quickly detained before Arnie walked away unscathed.
Arnie later took to Twitter to describe the incident.
In a message to his four million fans, he said: “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.”
Earlier the man was spotted lurking behind the movie giant before he was seemingly pulled away by what appears to be the star’s personal security team, reports the Sandton Chronicle.
However, just as a smiling Schwarzenegger hands over the phone on which he was taking a selfie video, the man returns and launches his snidey attack.
