Since my response seemed to get barried amognst other responses by a certain someone...
Up until that point he really was in the wrong. But still, even if it was unintentional, I think you ended up doing a lot more harm than he did. It wouldn't hurt to apologize, and hey- maybe he'll see that you're the better person through that and he'll apologize too (and possibly drop charges that I imagine he's planning on pressing)
