For all we know, he might have had something wrong with him and was promised priority boarding himself, to avoid the scrum.
Who knows. Always two sides to a story.
However, the ground agent person shouldn't have reacted in the manner she did. There are ways and means of dealing with/diffusing difficult situations.
If the other guy had priority boarding, why was he just standing there and not trying to move forward?
Otherwise, there would have been no space for the OP to move into.
