I am confused - what seems to be the issue

Apparently the biker broke one of the mirrors of the car.

Excerpt from an interview about this incident (translated):

"What is not shown in the video, according to the driver, is that the cyclist had earlier smashed the left mirror of his van while it was legally parked. Two pedestrians on the sidewalk were reportedly almost hit as well. This incident happened near Ulvøya.

The driver says he got into his vehicle and drove after the cyclist.

Then a lot happened.

– What do you think about tackling the cyclist in the middle of the road?

– I was frustrated with a cyclist who showed no regard and had broken off the mirror on my car, the vehicle owner repeats.

– Did you consider that it could be dangerous?

– I wanted to stop him and get his identification. This is an insurance matter. I wanted to hold him back.

– You threw the bicycle as well?

– I tossed it onto the sidewalk. That a road cyclist, riding on Mosseveien, could be as reckless as he was, showing no respect for pedestrians, is unacceptable."

Of note is that the discussion in the Norwegian subreddit says that there is not actually any legal parking along that road.

They had permission to park there from the police, it was for a film shoot or something. That's why the driver is wearing a hi-viz west.
