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.
The bike incident comes after Arnold was drop-kicked by a crazed man in South Africa during a fitness expo three weeks ago.
During the attack, a man shouted “Help me! I need a Lamborghini!” — then pounded the movie star in the back with a flying double dropkick, wild video footage shows.
