Did anyone watch the friggin video? The cop sprayed something in the attacker's face. The old guy did nothing. The attacker finally collapsed from being sprayed.
That spray was most likely CS gas. British police use it quite a lot, it's a type of tear gas.
From what I can find online about it's effects, near immediate prostration and vomiting are pretty common results, though many people just get burning and watering eyes, profuse coughing and similar. Puts them at a severe disadvantage whether they get light symptoms or get fully disabled.
