You have a right to defend yourself and others.

You aren't allowed to chase after people if they give up and run away. This is where some get in trouble. Sounds to me like that didn't happen here.

You are allowed to use reasonable force to stop an attack.

In the future it is also a good idea to call the police first - or have someone else do it - if possible.
