Had a beef in local (Am I right)

I was travelling to Badlapur from Thane from the first local, and there comes a guy who are standing at the door while eating gutka. I was sitting behind him on window seat , intentionally or unintentionally, I don’t know, but he spit that gutka it came directly towards me . That guy was elder to me, probably in mid 40s, but during that heat of moment, I started abusing him and told him not to repeat it again as that spit came on my face . Then there comes a boy who was sitting next to me and started telling me. Don’t abuse him as he is elder to you. I was like dude. He spat on me, not on you. I was feeling guilty and after getting to Badlapur station I apologise to that guy, even he was feeling bad about spitting and the matter was closed. What do you think about this?
