You need to watch the video - I've linked the YT version here, between 23 seconds and 25 seconds. watching the two figures I have circled. You can quite clearly see the man in the black circle run in from the top right with a brick, throw it and the bricks hits the elderly man in the orange. Nothing to do with the woman, the brick comes from in front.
Lets call them road clearing rather than pro-gov because sans a big label saying 'Pro Gov'on their tshirts nobody knows their political thoughts and general consensus is they wanted to clear the road which we have evidence of. Perhaps they are not checking his condition in the SECONDS after he hits the road because people are throwing bricks/having bricks thrown at them? Peripheral vision grabbing your attention is unlikely in that scenario. The protesters can clearly see it though because they were facing him, hence why they run away perhaps?

The correct advice would be not to walk between two sides hurling bricks at each other
