If this guy had just walked by the car and yelled at the lady she would not be in fear, but the fact that he approached the car, harassed her for a while, and was only inches from her at the time her boyfriend pushed him away I believe it would have been reasonable for her to be in fear of imminent bodily harm at that point. The guy just was not acting rational at all.
By the way the boyfriend just pushed him away. He did not punch him and he did not attempt to approach him once he was on the ground.
No matter what everyone here says I think we all would have done the exact same thing. the guy was acting crazy and right in the face of his girlfriend. Who is going to wait for him to punch her before taking action?
Not disputing anything you said, but is there a standard for when something is considered PHYSICAL.
