This is the dystopian moment a festival crowd encountered a 'Terminator' moment when a robot went haywire in China.

Locals were celebrating the Spring Festival Gala when one of the animatronics in the pit area attacked concertgoers in Tianjin on February 9.

Terrifying footage shows the machine, clad in a traditional Chinese red vest, charging at individuals in front of the barricade.

It can be seen attempting to hit a man with its head. However, standby security personnel immediately pulled it away.

The tech operator then grabbed it from behind to reboot and regain control of the droid.

No one was reportedly hurt during the incident.

The 'Terminator'-like behavior has raised concerns among locals about their safety, as robots and AI can still act rogue despite being controlled.

The Terminator is a sci-fi thriller in which a cyborg assassin, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, whose unborn son will lead humanity's resistance against a machine-led apocalypse.
