To me it is a bit like having your dog in the car with the window open a little bit. If a person forced the window down some more and stuck his arm in with a barking dog then its his own fault if he gets bit
But poor you anyways - I hope you have calmed down a bit - I would prob give the police a call, he might be trying other peoples houses
Unfortunately in Civil Law this is not the case.
The same applies to a dog in a car, legally it is deemed a public place UNLESS the car is parked in a PRIVATE place.
The words "fault" and "blame" are not legal terms, only insurance ones.
This is where so many people get confused between civil (tort) and criminal law.

The situation described whereby the man actually tried to undo a restraint on the door is absolutely out of order and not too different to someone climbing over a locked gate then walking into an open door and that could easily happen here as my garden gate is always locked, but back door is often left open.
Idiotic fella, IMHO, regardless of what the Law says or thinks about the situation
