‘Terminator’ stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton reunite
‘Terminator’ stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton reunited to promote the new sequel ‘Terminator: Dark Fate.’
Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Sunday that he won't press charges against the man accused of assaulting him over the weekend.
"A lot of you have asked, but I’m not pressing charges," the 71-year-old "Terminator" star tweeted. "I hope this was a wake-up call, and he gets his life on the right track. But I’m moving on and I’d rather focus on the thousands of great athletes I met at @ArnoldSports Africa."
On Saturday, a video went viral of the former Republican governor of California at an Arnold Classic Africa event in Johannesburg, South Africa, when a man rushed and dropkicked Schwarzenegger from behind.

He shook it off almost immediately.
Shortly after the incident, Schwarzenegger tweeted, “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.”
