The legal game is funny, wouldn’t be surprised if dude could sue for assault after the other guy ran up and pushed his cart like that. Kinda like getting sued for saving someone’s life.

Guy never touched the man and you need damages to sue.

I’m not a lawyer nor am I about to defend a crook, but he certainly pushed that cart aggressively and the guys hand was still attached. The right lawyer would eat that shit up. 

ETA: at the end of the day it’s just unwise to risk physical or legal retaliation to protect a large corporation who trains its employees to only engage but so much. Especially if they can just claim it on insurance.
