I don't doubt that his car was attacked. But did he really need to head towards the crowd? Was that the only way out of the area? Seems like there are other streets he could have used, but I'm not familiar with the layout. I'm fine with criticizing Antifa, but I don't think it is wise to defend this guy's actions, either.

There's nothing wrong with presenting facts related to the defense of the perpetrator that are likely to be used by his own attorney in any legal proceedings.

I have no idea what the guy's state of mind was, but a few years ago I was involved in a somewhat similar situation (minus the large crowd in the street) -- and my reaction wasn't all that different than what I see here on these video clips.

Keep in mind that the guy wasn’t from Charlottesville and wouldn’t likely know his way around town.

Once his car was attacked, it’s totally reasonable to assume he panicked. He didn’t live in Charlottesville, so wouldn’t have any knowledge about how to get away from the mayhem.

Yeah, there is more than a good chance his car was attacked previously a block away exiting the car park. There is more but that is the hanger going in. If she had not been on his trunk beating the rear window out she might not have been injured.
