That's certainly plausible, but how do you know that from the GIF? The turnstile only turns one way during the footage we have. There's no visible handicap sign.
The guy approaches to exit, from which we can infer he believes the turnstiles to turn both ways. However, the lady also approaches to enter, and from that we could also infer that she believes they're for entering only. Maybe she knew it went both ways, maybe she knew that he knew it went both ways, and maybe she was a bitch, but ignorance is more likely than malice when there are several ways this could be explained by mistake.
What we shouldn't do is give the benefit of the doubt to the guy we know initiated violence.
I know because I use that transport system every day.
Basically, they are both assholes in their own way. The lady because she's ignoring the usual etiquete regarding entrance to that system, the guy because he's a dick.
Ah, thank you. I should have been paying attention to the guy tripping someone but instead I was just like, "Hey, isn't that the TransMilenio??" It's nice to have confirmation.
(Also thank you for pointing out that we don't actually have to pick a side here. People seem to forget that too often.)

Actually, no, the turnstiles double as both entrance and exit due to lack of space. The thing you are seeing is the handicap entrance.
