I think it depends. I know that I certainly have felt threatened when some guy followed me. But we're talking about someone a lot taller and a lot more male ;) We don't know if he felt angry or threatened, and if he felt threatened how much. At what point that justifies punching someone, assuming that's what happened, I don't know either... I repeat, though, what they say in self defense classes is that if you're going to get physical, incapacitate.
I'm actually going to be rather interested in further details when they come out and I think further details *will* come out because it sounds like that girl heard part of it and there were several people in apartments who heard some of it too.
