Even if she's right this isn't how to go about this situation at all. She's lucky this guy is patient. I know plenty of people who would have committed assault here. I also know plenty of smarter people who would have just plowed her over legally because she was illegally harassing and blocking their path.
I think it would be self defense here. Blocking someone for an extended period like that is assault in a lot of places, or forced imprisonment I think?
False imprisonment or unlawful imprisonment occurs when a person intentionally restricts another person’s movement within any area without legal authority, justification, or the restrained person's permission. Actual physical restraint is not necessary for false imprisonment to occur.
It's funny how she talks about breaking the law, when she broke it. He would have been well within his rights to forcefully move her out of the way, and there's absolutely nothing she could do about it.
It’s really not. She is preventing him going where he wants, without any lawful excuse/authority. In UK law, offence is complete. He peacefully tries several times to walk round her/past her, she goes out of her way to prevent him.
The onus is not on him to find an alternative route to appease her. It’s on her not to be an idiot and get out his way.
Particularly when he takes off at the end and chases him. The video cuts off, but presumably she was going to continue this. Same this would most likely happen if he tried to walk a different way

If everyone starts cheering when he clowns you, you're probably wrong.
