He's lucky he's not in a police cell. I intervened in a mugging in Shepherds Bush, London, punching the mugger to the pavement and took a knife out of his pocket that he hadn't pulled yet. I spent the night in the cells for assault but was released the next morning.

Did the person getting mugged not back up your story?

The law is fairly clear on self defence and defence of others.

He did. The mugger laid a charge of assault against both of us and the cops had to hold us and the mugger. Only when the mugger was convinced to drop charges by the cops after an all night session with the mugger were we informed that if the victim dropped charges, we would be free to go. Criminals use the law in the UK.
