If this happened at a hospital reception desk no one would bat an eyelid at the youth being man handled out by security, the guy is on his own, its not like he set about him with a baseball bat, he pushed him off the bus, the only way he let himself down was calling the kid fat, maybe he has done the kid a favour and he will act reasonably in future

You are incorrect Cherie, sorry, a bus (like a shop) is not private property. If I physically grabbed or pushed a customer for calling me a name I would be at the very least suspended - would be at risk of being fired - and could be charged with assault. The same applies here.
