In the USofA Aldrin's actions are likely to be deemed self defence as he was subjected to what amounts to harassment and could rightly claim that he held a fear of being physically harmed either directly (actual physical assault) or indirectly ( a fall while trying to evade the person so harassing him)
"Harassment is governed by state laws, which vary by state, but is generally defined as a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety. Harassment is unwanted, unwelcomed and uninvited behavior that demeans, threatens or offends the victim and results in a hostile environment for the victim. Harassing behavior may include, but is not limited to, epithets, derogatory comments or slurs and lewd propositions, assault, impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching or any physical interference with normal work or movement..."
