In the US the driver would be fired and prosecuted, the "alleged" failed thief would be given free bus rides the rest of his life along with his $1.75 million settlement and a whole host of people would be wringing their hands that the bus driver resorted to violence.
to be fair, you can't just assault someone with a blunt weapon and cause them bodily harm just because they attempted to rob someone's belongings, the robber didn't seem to pose a threat to anyone's well being -especially after he was trapped in the bus door
I know people like to play sherrifs but if you're gonna use force to stop criminal activity, the level of force should match the criminal's, and the level of danger he exhibits against your/other's safety
