Arnie got dropkicked

At an event in Johannesburg, someone took a run and jump into Arnold Schwarzenegger. Security didn't let him get away, Arnie was fine afterwards. He's still built like a brick sthouse but it's not bad for a 71 year old who had heart surgery not too long ago. Arnie might have a word with his guys are about not seeing the guy coming though.

Found this quite funny, the assailant gets some great air but despite this, he barely gives Arnie more than a little nudge - brick sthouse indeed!

I just watched the videos and as you say, impressive Arnie just stumbled a little whilst the 'kicker' is flat on the floor.

They handed the attacker over to the Johannesburg police, I think the attacker will be re-educated in custody overnight and wont be doing it again.

Why the hell would anyone do that ?

He’ll be back

Easy to critique in hindsight, but the team made very basic mistakes and I’d wager they are more ‘show’ than ‘go’ in terms of training.

Quite, also, whilst in better shape than most youngsters, Arnie is in his 70's now...

In police room 619?

Ha.
Not likely they will laugh with him. He attacked the white devil.

Indeed. I did actually have "to a pensioner" but then removed that part from my question as I considered the general issue is what the hell makes someone do that to a complete stranger. But yes, far far worse when he is a pensioner.

I met Arnie in a restaurant in Sacramento a few years ago.

He was handing out Anti-corruption fliers.
When he got to our table he shook hands and explained what he was doing.
I was smiling so much he shook my hand again.

Don't understand what the idiot thought he would achieve.
Glad Arnie looked OK.
Top bloke.

[TeamD]

Agreed, just why would you do that?

I guess he just wanted to hand out anti corruption leaflets?

I just love the way Arnie's moved like you'd imagine the trunk of a tree does when a Mini crashes into it.

Bad enough being assailed after trying to hurt someone, but to have been so utterly ineffective despite getting a free kick in is priceless.

Always the professional and gracious about the whole thing:

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 [video] proving that fitness is for everyone who deserve to be famous. They’re on my Snapchat.

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.

The video has been posted on various CP face book groups... needless to say the comments on the whole are not positive. But as with everything in the protection world you can learn lessons from others.

I am sure Ken Wharfe had a chuckle into his coffee this morning...
