Because he already assaulted one of your crew members, refused to follow your commands to sit down and behave, was intoxicated and stupid, the chance of him assaulting another pax or crew member was likely and you can bet your ass that if he had charged the open door and fallen to the ground, he'd be suing the piss out of the carrier.
Doesn't matter what size you are, you can learn to take down someone of any size, it's a matter of balance, shifting your weight, and what body parts to use in coordination to neutralize some moron and what moves to execute for each situation. A good self defense course is something everyone should take, not only to protect yourself, but others around you and to also learn some simple defensive moves. Not everyone can be reasoned with and running away is not always an option either.
Kudos to the Captain.
But just a critique, from my current profession. He should have taken off his lanyard first, unless it was a rip away. You don't want to be choked out, with your own lanyard.
