I'm sure that if there were a way of sorting the situation without punching the guy, he'd have gone for it. If the police say they aren't pressing charges, I would assume they decided he acted in a reasonable manner. It's perfectly possible that intervening non-violently would have resulting in them having a full-blown fight with more serious damage to both parties. We don't know, cos we weren't there.

Of course, if I had been there, I would have rendered him unconscious with a jitsu nerve-pinch and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Get well soon, Mr. horn, but do go and learn how to punch properly, because your distressed-damsel-saving abilities will be severely impaired if you have to spend a week in hospital after every rescue...
