While the kick was enough to push him into the crowd of people he was interacting with, Schwarzenegger stayed on his feet. Meanwhile, security quickly grabbed the attacker.

Schwarzenegger later took to social media to let everyone know he was fine:

According to the event's Twitter account, the fan was turned over to law enforcement. Schwarzenegger does not intend to press charges.
