Mmm... Maybe. I personally am not willing to lay blame on either party or to say whether or not the use of the u-lock was justified. The video really doesn't show what went on in close quarters between the two, and I don't think it's right to make assumptions.
It is telling though that the cyclist appeared to be trying to walk away and the ped kept getting after him.
