If student Sam goes for a civil writ against Pollock, Pollock will be found guilty of assault, simply because the student didnt attack or show signs of attacking someone.
The award against him though will probably be something like a pound to reflect the moral rightness of his interference.

Not too sure about that one either: - rather, I'll rephrase, yes, that could so - but on the other hand: as it could be argued by other side that Main was placing others in a State of Alarm & Distress - (that's not the correct term but it's close) - and therefore Pollock's actions were justified. I have a hunch that something similar is covered by Civil Law?
It's one massive can of worms.
