I think you did what any of us here would do, however I believe they could have charged you with assault or aggravated assault not saying it would stick. All the homeless man had to do was call police and say he was in fear for his life, putting you on the defense at which time you could say he's a crazy liar or explain your side, depending on the cop you may or may not go for a ride. and as everyone here says IANAL.
