It appears that some invisible entity jerked the chalice, which the priest seemingly had to grasp back. It certainly wasn't the man as he was not close enough to the chalice.

No, that was just the priest flinching; he was startled, and nearly dropped the chalice.

I've watched that a few times since your explanation, Ladi, but it appeared to me that the priest was unaware of the man at the point in which the chalice jerked in his hands. Perhaps the clip starts a little too close to the incident to judge.

I disagree.  Right as recovered control of the chalice he was looking at the guy.  He obviously heard the commotion as he was in the motion of the elevation, was startled by the noise, stabilized the chalice, and then looked intently at the commotion.  We really don't need to posit some demonic force grabbing a chalice here.  Just look at his eyes right as the his arm starts jerking.  If it were a motion and no noise, he'd be looking at the chalice and not beyond the chalice to whatever was happening there.

Doesn't bother me all that much.  Not tactful.  But righteously indignant?  Seems like it.  Guy just has an anger problem, lots of people do.  Sounds like the poor fella had one too many Novus Ordos... video starts immediately after the Pro Multis (who knows how the priest said it?)... then first thing the guy says is "that's it!  That's enough!"
.
Amen. 

My father told the story of how a lunatic stabbed the priest while he was giving out communion. The priest went to the hospital. When he was better the priest was released from the hospital. My father said how he was very impressed to see the priest back at the altar and giving out communion to the people as before.
