On the balance of probabilities the defendant intentionally pushed the plaintiff from behind, constituting a tortious battery; the defendant's prior conviction for common assault is admissible and supports the finding; inconsistencies in the defendant's accounts and the contemporaneous video corroborate the plaintiff's account; causation insofar as the battery occurred is established and plaintiff is entitled to damages, although the quantum is reduced by credibility findings and medical evidence.
