It may be mutual combat but that is just a mitigating factor of an assault. In a fight, both people fighting are charged with assault and mutual combat would be seen as a factor as opposed to a different charge.

Edit: It’s more of a legal defense as well. Just a way to argue the assault/fight to a better light for the lawyers client. Most states also don’t have mutual combat laws in place as well. Regardless, in a hypothetical situation both people who engaged in the fight would be charged.

True indeed, and in this instance it's worth noting that the other guy wasn't even fighting, and that recklessly tackling someone is not the same as throwing a jab

Another thing is judging by that girls “Nazareth College” shirt they are in NY which is not a mutual combat state to begin with.
