Spur of the moment action in apprehending two criminals who (I assume) he has seen commit a violent crime.
Can see it being written off as a reasonable course of action.

Re: So what would happen to the guy with the bike if this happened in the UK
fair enough the police might prosecute in this country but the thieves would most likely be encouraged by no win no fee lawers to take out a civil lawsuit for injury, loss of earnings ,damage to the motorbike and general discomfort

And if by some miracle they were jailed then they could say being called 'prisoner' was against their human rights and try to get compensation.

Thankfully there is still a tiny amount of common sense left and he was told where he could go.

The thieves would get a slapped wrist, and compensation from the bike thrower for any injuries etc.
The bike thrower would, of course, be fined and jailed.

Re: So what would happen to the guy with the bike if this happened in the UK
Well I reckon the two theives days on earth are numbered, as Chinese law will proberly have them executed.
IIRC, There was a case in the UK a few years ago armed robbers gunned down a security guard and made off on a bike.
A guy in a brand new car chased and rammed them causing serious injuires to the bad guys and wrecking his car in the process.
The robbers got life, he got a replacement car paid for by the bank.

Re: So what would happen to the guy with the bike if this happened in the UK
Would that be the same as his "hoodie hugging" policy then?
As the criminals were quite clearly none the worse for wear after their encounter, it would seem that reasonable force was used, therefore there would have been no call for any prosecution for the man who threw the bicycle. Ergo, I fail to see the point of the original question.
I presume this a counter argument to the Munir Hussain case. There is hardly much of a compassion to be honest, is there? Hussain and his gang beat the living daylights out of someone and this person threw a bicycle, not quite the same.
