LOS ANGELES — Fed up by an infinite pothole in his Los Angeles neighborhood, Arnold Schwarzenegger picked up a shovel and stuffed it himself.

The actor and former California governor tweeted a video Tuesday of him and a helper utilizing packaged concrete to restore the street within the Brentwood space.

“At present, after the entire neighborhood has been upset about this large pothole that is been screwing up automobiles and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my workforce and glued it,” he wrote on Twitter. “I at all times say, let’s not complain, let’s do one thing about it. Right here you go.”

A neighbor rolled down her automobile window and shouted her thanks on the motion film star.

“You are welcome,” stated Schwarzenegger, decked out in work boots, a leather-based jacket and shades harking back to his position in “Terminator.”

“You must do it your self. That is loopy. For 3 weeks I have been ready for this gap to be closed,” he stated.

Daniel Ketchell, a spokesperson for Schwarzenegger, stated Brentwood residents made repeated requests for repairs since winter storms opened up potholes and cracks on native roads.

Mayor Karen Bass final week introduced a plan to handle what she known as an unprecedented variety of broken streets throughout the town. Since Dec. 30, Los Angeles has acquired 19,692 service requests for repairs, and as of April 6, crews had stuffed at the least 17,549 potholes, officers stated.

The Division of Public Works didn’t instantly reply to an e mail asking whether or not the pothole Schwarzenegger stuffed had been scheduled to be repaired.
