48. Does the man have a claim against the bystander?
An intoxicated man who was standing on a fifth-floor apartment balcony threatened to jump off the building. A bystander pulled the man back into the building, pushed him into a bedroom, and locked the bedroom door from the outside. When the man became sober, the bystander released him from the bedroom.

A is incorrect. Even though the intentional pushing of another person without that person's consent meets the definition of a battery, the privilege to use force to prevent self-inflicted harm would defeat a battery claim brought by the man.
B is incorrect. Although the intentional confinement of another person without that person's consent meets the definition of false imprisonment, the privilege to use force to prevent self-inflicted harm would defeat this claim.
C is incorrect. The man's intentional pushing and confinement of another person were reasonable under the circumstances because the intoxicated man threatened serious self-inflicted harm.
