Other outlets were using footage that began with Michael Stewart throwing the first punch. However, this video shows the other guy try 3 times in a row to take the book out of Michael Stewart's hands. The police took no action about the repeated assault until Michael Stewart responded by punching his assailant.

However, I think Michael Stewart will have difficult time with a self defense argument in court because he escalated the situation well beyond what was needed to defend himself.
