Not necessarily true. I once caught a co-worker stealing from our family business and called police. They refused to press charges. They said "I" had to press the charges, meaning I could have said no. Perhaps it depends on the nature of the crime, and/or the jurisdiction.
In this case, the guy with the sword didn't have a phone, so I would assume the other guy called in the complaint and pressed charges.
Who has swords? I do! Two of them - just like on our coat of arms!
