I agree he purposely ran over him (though also agree he was being a dick standing where he was just to make the wheelchair go around him), and though 'assault' seems an overkill word to use, that's the word used in law. So arrest the guy, do your job you were selected and trained to do. Don't do your job properly to the point you also assault someone (I'm guessing nobody would even try to spin that as self-defence), and you should be fired.
Like I said eralier, some dickhead runs his wheelchair over your foot while you are working in walmart, and you can nail on you'll be fired and arrested for assault.
Don't like dealing with assholes all day? Simple - don't become a police officer being paid to deal with assholes all day
