So if a steward manhandles you, or to be honest even touches you then he/ she can be judged to have assaulted you, unless he/ she was acting in the interest of public safety and used reasonable force.
On this occasion the guy would have been within his rights not to move anywhere and ask the stewards to get the police. Alternatively you can always do a runner as if the stewards try to restrain you again this could be judged as assault.
Could be wrong but this is what I work by and they haven't got hold of me yet.
The thing is your are technically there by invitation, and the host has the right to revoke the invitation at any time. Then they can take reasonable steps to eject you, giving them the same rights you would have to eject an unwanted visitor from your home. (thats my understanding of it, could be wrong)
