I bet SFPD refuses to investigate. I don't understand why they didn't keep him on the ground, in an arm-lock, until police arrived. I would never have let him get back on his feet, and certainly not have let him grab something and start walking/running away. She had enough moxie to blast into him to knock him off the bike. I'm sure she would have had plenty of help holding him on the ground, if she had just asked the people around her to help, and asked for someone to call 911. jc
