From what I could see in that video, I come to a couple of conclusions.
A D-Lock makes for a clumsy weapon, and the way the guy has to pull the hand back and then project it all the way indicates it's hard to direct it accurately. If I ever get into a similar situation and can help it, I won't use a D-lock as weapon, but would rather opt for something smaller and lighter.
Also, I won't keep walking in to someone that has a hard object in his hand. And if someone tries to swing at me like that, that is he pulls the fist back with a hard object in it, I hopefully won't just stand there. Instead I'll try to either move out of the way or tear his f***in head off before he can take the swing.
But most importantly I hopefully will look at what the guy has in his hands, if I am in a potentially aggressive situation. Could have just as well been a knife, a screwdriver or something similarly dangerous.
Ohh yeah, the ped is an idiot and the cyclists is a cunt!
