Arnold Schwarzenegger’s guard pulls TASER as thief ‘tries to steal actor’s £4k bike’ before Terminator calmly pedals off
IT’S been a rough month for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Just weeks after he was drop-kicked in South Africa, the Terminator star’s £4,300 ($5,500) electric bike was almost stolen by a masked bandit while he was pumping iron.
Footage taken outside the Gold’s Gym in LA shows the 71-year-old celeb’s bodyguard pulling a Taser on a man who allegedly tried to steal his custom-made, fat-tired Felt Outfitter mountain bike.
The bodyguard held the suspected thief — who sported a red bandana over his face — at Taser-point while Schwarzenegger snatched his bike back.
His souped-up camouflage-patterned bike is valued at $5,500, according to the Daily Mail.
In video, the alleged thief appeared to be arguing with the security guard after he whipped out the weapon.
Eventually, the guard re-holstered the Taser and appears to let the suspect go.
Schwarzenegger is shown in photos inspecting the bike and was later seen posing for photographs with fans before pedalling away.
LAPD did not respond to Gold’s Gym, according to Yahoo News.
