I presume his legs were kicked from under him whilst he was kicking and flailing his arms about.

Reading the full account on the site were the video was posted, all the delegates knew there was police outside to prevent them from jaywalking, because they were complaining about it. They were there to prevent them presumably from being injured or killed, if they were knocked down.
