I wouldn't read anything into the summons. They are routinely issued in these situations even where the only evidence is a single witness statement, such as the statement by the guard. It will be much more telling to see whether the Crown elects to pursue a conviction. They would likely not do so if there was not sufficient evidence to make a conviction a likely prospect.
The problem is that the video as we have seen it contains no such evidence, though it does contain sufficient evidence in my view to make an assault conviction likely for at least one of the guards. There is likely some additional context that will eventually emerge, but it is hard to imagine that it will be of much help to the guard throwing the punches.
