If he was within his rights to draw the weapon and point it at the attackers in the first instance, then he was certainly within his rights, having witnessed a breach of the peace or a felony, to affect a citizen's arrest.

I'm not a lawyer, but common sense dictates that this is correct.

The 911 call that was recorded with this incident was great. After telling the 911 operator about the situation, the soldier asked the operator if she wanted him to have the 7 that charged him stay in the vehicle or should be 'splay them on the ground'. I believe there was some silence after that - the operator was probably taken aback! What a man!
