I believe they would be called. In fact I was watching one of those Beach Patrol shows a couple of days ago and a guy was going to get arrested for pushing his girlfriend down to the ground. She ended up being arrested after it was found out that she punched him 10-15 times in the face, but anyways, I know you could say it's a different situation with a guy pushing down his girlfriend but still, he was going to be arrested for that. I would have to imagine if people saw this in public they would probably call the police and at least a ticket would be issued with the possibility of arrest.
