A man put his whole body against a woman in a threatening manner. They were touching even nose to nose She feeling as though her personal space was violated pushed him away. He then punched her & she punched back. The fight stopped at this point. What is the legal outcome of this? Who is at fault?

Maybe both, maybe noone. Each has a right to self defense. Were there actions reasonable under the circumstances? Was flight a possibility instead of force? What is the size and strength difference between them? Was any serious damage done as a result of the punches?
