therefore IF I did get involved it would likely be a haymaker in the side of the head followed by what ever punches came to mind.............
If your goal is to knock someone out, and they are not paying attention to you, that you can strike them freely then have a look at this video

Coach stop? Is this a London thing?
OP must be American, or something equally as weird.
Weird?
There's a couple of coach companies which run commuter services into London from Kent, and presumably other counties. In fact one of them stops at the end of my road...probably the OPs one, as if I remember correctly he lives just up the road from me.
I looked into using them when my company moved office to central London, as they are cheaper than trains. But also take twice as long.

Society has been that way ever since phones got cameras.What has society come to? When people would either watch, film or walk away from someone who needed help?
That’s an interesting video and scarily accurate based on my thoughts today.
I’m no Bruce Lee or He-Man. I’m a 40 year old fat bloke who got to brown belt 20 years ago. Some of it did come back to me though.
I understand what you’re saying, genuinely but what about the basics of human decency?
It’s a crazy world.
how do you know the copper was in the right and the other guy was in the wrong?
Is this a wind up? Surely a copper wanting to stop someone would 95%+ of the time signal that they are likely in the right, ie the person needs to be apprehended/stopped!?
do you have a source to back up that stat?
I generally find most people getting into fights in public have no training.But thinking about it, how many people have actually been in a fight? At my school only a minority of people used to get in to fights. So unless that person as had some kind of fight training I can understand why they are reluctant to get involved.
So you think that the police in the main just stop people for the hell of it...I see. You're not another of those on here that had a bad time in the past with the police and blame them for all of life's woes now?
Anyway, it looks like you clearly missed the part in the OP where he stated, "a policeman has stopped an electric scooter rider for illegally riding his device", so yes, the copper was in the right here.
As the officer hits the floor, I make eye contact with him, suddenly I realise my fellow passengers are gone, moved up the road and it’s just me!
What do you do?
I stepped in to assist.

Maybe not in the main but there’s plenty of videos online of officers stopping people for little to no reason, although I’d admit that it seems more like a US issue.
Police might be in the right for stopping the dude, but not for the escalation.
I’d step in if it looked like the officers life was in danger, but not for a ******* electric scooter!
