According to a follow-up tweet from the same account, the man in the blue t-shirt, who subdued the attacker, is Jordan Wirth. Wirth is a brown belt in BJJ and has secured prizes in various competitions.

He was calm and collected during the whole encounter. Wirth had trapped the attacker’s left arm and tried to pacify the situation. The attacker pleaded and cried that he could not breathe, at which point Wirth asked him to relax to breathe better. However, he sternly reminded the assaulter of his situation when the verbal exchange escalated.
