Saw this debated on UK TV. One commentator said it was a #metoo issue, violence against women. Another example of how (I think) movements like #metoo, or men's rights, or whatever, are fuelled by incoherent anger, without a good dose of accompanying thought. In this case I think the guy lost his temper, and was way too rough. He's apologised for that. It's nonsense to make it a gender issue, I'm sure he'd have behaved in exactly the same way if the protester had been a man, probably even more violently. Also, protesters like this are in themselves acting violently, physically forcing their way into private gatherings and disrupting what's going on. It's a bit precious for them to pretend they're Gandhi when they're met with resistance.
