If you are on a train and someone pushes you and you feel threatned then yes you have the right to protect yourself. I believe this is called self-defense. I am not a lawyer, but I think that holds up pretty well if one can prove they acted to a perceived threat to their person.

It's a good thing you don't ride the NYC subways, as some innocent person would be dead, and you would have a rather large boyfriend.
