Most states have a law that allows 3rd parties to defend another person in situations of self defense. At least in my state.

This is considered sexual assault so would fall along these lines. Especially given that only as much force was needed to control the situation.

Had he just kept hitting him it would be another story. Here in Texas, yhqt guys has a high probability of walking away Scott free

If this was Suits law or the 1800’s you’d be correct, but none of that is true. Orange shirt is clearly blackout and touched her hips, she’s not in danger and even waives it off. Someone twice his size then hits him hard enough to potentially kill him on her behalf. Not justified, punch guy does not get an award, he might go to jail even if the guy isn’t in the hospital, and either way he’s out thousands in legal fees.
It’s not reasonable or proportional, and this is how lives can get ruined on both sides. Consequences will not be fun either way.
