Your 100% correct on this.
My point was it was a object he used, not the degree of damage. If it'd been a tire iron or baseball bat, same thing.. I agree it was a "What the hell were you thinking" Message. If he really wanted to hurt him. He had the full upper hand instead of just walking away.

Most competitors after such a incident would offer some parts and be drinking a beer together a hour later instead of pressing charges.
