"Mr Erdos, who suffered from swelling to the head and dizziness, spoke of his anger in a statement to the court."
"He said: “This was an unprovoked attack and was completely unjustified. I didn’t antagonise the male in any way.”

He's bound to see it that way, of course. But many would not see it the same way. He had damaged someone else's property and was liable for the cost of its repair and, one might argue, to offer apology. But he did neither. He just rode away.

"Unjustified"?

Yes.

"Unprovoked"?

Hardly.
