After a video showing an assailant dropkicking Arnold Schwarzenegger in the back went viral on May 18, another angle has emerged.

Schwarzenegger tweeted new footage shot from another angle.

“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,” the “Terminator” star tweeted. “By the way... block or charge?”

“I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat,” Schwarzenegger also tweeted.

In the video, the unknown assailant launches himself feet-first at the former governor of California. Schwarzenegger barely budges and is pushed forward.

“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,” he tweeted.

Mario Lopez, the actor, praised the “Predator” star for staying calm.

“Some idiot tried to drop kick 71yr old @Schwarzenegger. Like a mosquito kickin a rhino it didn’t even bother my guy...#legend,” he tweeted.

The video showed the attacker being quickly taken away by security.

Initially, after the video went viral on social media, the actor said there wasn’t anything to worry about.

“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,” he tweeted.

Youngest Son Graduates

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced in April that his youngest child, Joseph Baena, has graduated from college.
The “Terminator” actor and former governor of California posted a photo of himself and Baena, 21, after he graduated from California’s Pepperdine University.

“Congratulations Joseph!,” Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter.

The “Last Action Hero” star added: “Four years of hard work studying business at Pepperdine and today is your big day! You have earned all of the celebration and I’m so proud of you. I love you!”

Baena also posted a picture with his father on Instagram, saying, “Some of the best times of my life are because of this school and the people in these pictures.”

“I’m so incredibly greatful (sic) to have the privilege to study at and graduate from such a beautiful and high caliber school. I now have my degree in business administration and with that, I believe this is only the beginning of a new road. Let’s see where it takes us!” he continued.
