Lets assume hat this story is true for a minute..
That Guy is in for a world of problems. Way better to let the rent a cop take it than assault him. It was not a life threatening situation so what is he point of risking an AD...
That being said... my gut feeling is that this story is a falsehood.
Just my 2 cents...

Let's not only assume that it is true, but let's also assume that it is accurate ...
The guard did not identify or command. All the guard did was assault. Bad move by guard, and good reaction by carrier!
Beyond chance of ad in fight, I would be more concerned with ad by forced disarming.
