One needs to be careful about relying on one witness, especially when there are multiple and conflicting accounts. The security guard may be unbiased insofar as he doesn't know any of the participants, but there are many reasons why eyewitness accounts of an event may be erroneous in one or more ways. This can be especially true when the witness has observed only part of an event that took place over some extended period of time or when the witness focused only on an area of an event presenting itself in a physically larger tableau and involving multiple participants.
I'm not saying that the security guard is wrong. I'm only saying that with the information we now have there's really no good way for us to dope out and form meaningful conclusions about what actually did happen. We might be able to make some fairly decent guesses, but it's entirely possible that when all of the evidence is developed and laid out, those guesses will turn out to be wrong.
