Your instructor could have easily been arrested for battery. Unless your instructor is a physically small guy, the appropriate thing to do would be to ask if they had a problem. That usually works for me in situations like that. If they aren't too bright, tell them to be outside in ten minutes and start without him if he's late then forget about it. If they decide to escalate the situation, let them initiate it and deal with things appropriately. With the law it's CYA.
