So he wasn't really out of control.
We've already mentioned that you can't make a call based on what you know in your mind happened. I'll add that you can't make a call solely based on previous behavior; especially an escalated call like intentional or flagrant.

You did good by refraining, although again, I wouldn't have even brought it up to the partner if I hadn't seen the action.
