Looked like he was trying to get to the bar and she was trying to keep him from getting to the bar ... to me anyways. Still no excuse to punch her, but I don't think she was innocent.
He looks like he is trying to rub up against her when she turns and says something to him. Then Watch at around the :10 (10second) mark. he puts his right hand under the edge of the bar and his left hand grips itstraight on. He then forcefully, pulls himself right in towards the bar and pushing her into the bar as well.... (Two handed grip)
