I dunno. This is a stretch to charge them with assault. The man clearly walked in front of them and then reached out and waved his cell phone at them in a rather bizarre manner. Don't know what he was doing but it was weird. Yeah, they pushed him but it was not done in a violent manner at all. If there was no context to this - like if they had just walked up to him and shoved him to the ground sure that sounds like assault. But what I see is not that clear cut.
