The attacker does not look good when it comes to what he did. He was much younger than the older guy he attacked and it looked like he was going for his head. It was clear that that the older guy, Hayes, was facing threat of serious injury. The big issue with defending yourself is delivering a proportional response, but one can reasonably argue that because of the age difference, the defender was in fear of serious injury and death. This is a reasonable assumption to make considering all the known instances of people being seriously injured or killed in street fights. The lesson is DO NOT instigate violence.
