Another view of the event from one of the articles linked above. Sounds like a non-compliant passenger versus an empowered union flight attendant:
Tom Watson, a first-class passenger, said that he saw the incident, and says that the female passenger responded strongly to the flight attendant's demand to take the stroller.
'She refused to let him take it and she was almost to the point of shouting,' he said.
But he said the flight attendant was 'aggressive' as he tried to pull the stroller away from her, and that his demands for security escalated the situation.
He said the stroller struck the woman in the head, and almost hit the kids.
'The woman knows not to bring the stroller on a plane, she refused to let it go - she was shouting, so she is also at fault in my opinion,' he said.

According to the one of the pax who posted a viral Facebook video:
They just in-voluntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight a passenger.
