Were you in in fear of immediate grave bodily harm or possibly death from an actual or imminent attack?
If yes, then you were justified in most states. Usually being attacked by a greater number or significantly stronger person, even unarmed, is reasonable justification to fear grave bodily harm.
You said nothing to escalate the situation with a normal person.
From your account it sounds like you had good awareness, training, and instincts. You defended yourself, no one had to get physically hurt, and you aren't in jail. Seems like a win-win.
Enjoy being alive and unharmed. Later on you can critique your choice of location and time of night, etc. But for now just enjoy being alive and doing what was needed to stay that way.
