The actor has since thanked his fans on Twitter for their concern.
'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.'

He says he's decided not to press any charges.
'Update: A lot of you have asked, but I’m not pressing charges.'
'I hope this was a wake-up call, and he gets his life on the right track.'

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.

Schwarzenegger will reprise his role as the Terminator in his new movie Dark Fate.
It's due out in October this year.
