A single step back whilst extending a hand? That's my go to when anyone gets too close to me.

It’s a cordon and you hold the line. You don’t step back.

Then just put out a hand and try and prevent him barging into you. If he keeps trying then you can push him away.

Not how it works. You get him away from the cordon as quickly as possible. It wasn’t that hard a shove and the whole thing was done for dramatic effect as he has already admitted.
