Arnold Schwarzenegger found himself in trouble with the law this week โ and it wasnโt part of one of his action movies.
The actor-turned-politician was stopped by German police on Friday for breaking the rules at the Munich train station when he was discovered riding a bike on the platform along with his bodyguard.
Schwarzenegger got off easy after he apologized to the officer, told him he was having trouble walking and offered to take a selfie.
The picture proved to be enough for federal police officer Stefan Schmitt to allow the โTerminatorโ star to go along with his day.
Police said in a statement that Schwarzenegger had a brief discussion with Schmitt and was then allowed to exit the train station by walking his bike.
The 69-year-old Austria native started his career as a champion bodybuilder before going on to star in more than 30 films.
In 2003, he was elected Governor of California and held the seat until 2011.
It was announced this September that Schwarzenegger would replace Donald Trump as host of โThe Celebrity Apprentice,โ which is set to air in early 2017.
