When push come to shove

A typical morning with the train typically packed, I stood in the train, unable to hold on to handrails as I was carrying stuffs.  I was facing the handrail that was between the doors, my back to the boarding side.

Two stops later, 2 passengers boarded the train.  There wasn't enough standing room for them both so 1 of them start to push in, butt first, past the people blocking the doors and managed to reach me.  As mentioned, there wasn't enough room in the first place, so he pushed some more, butting me off balance and tipping me forward.

Pissed, I braced myself and used my back to shove him towards the direction of door.  As it was packed, I only managed to jam him against his friend.  He took a look at me and didn't push back.  Really, what some people would do if you don't stand up to them.
