need some advice (headbutted a member of public)

[movingtables]

ok i'll try and keep this short
Im a security guard.
my current job title is " car park security ".

today i was asking someone "nicely" not to park in a staff bay and they flipped their lid and had me by the throat. so i pulled away and then headbutted the guy and he was half on the floor and half in the footwell of his car, his nose was bleeding and he said he was gonna report me. he got in his car and wheeled spinned off.

obviously headbutting someone is a bit over the top but he did assault me first.
if he does report me who do you recon would get into trouble the most?
after all he hit me first lol.

jeez 10 weeks into my first security job and up until today i've had no problems.

well i've decided that walking around a car park for 5 hours per day in the rain getting verbaly and psychically abused just isnt worth £6.50 an hour.

thanks for everyones input on the matter

I can't seriously believe that some people are justifying this uniformed rent-a-thug head-butting someone!

The mind boggles, it really does!

your entitled to your opinion but i have to say on my own behalf that i most certainly am not a thug.
i will however agree that headbutting someone was probably not a good idea.
but like many have suggested it was more of a split second responce to somoene with their hands around my throat.
its all very well suggesting i do this and do that from the comfort of your computer chair.
what would you do with someones hands around your throat?
smile and say "exscuse me please dont choke me" i need to call the police before you kill me?
