Crawl back

I was just trying to get out of his grasp so that I could get towards where I thought Ashleigh might be. I went into the smoke and I couldn't breathe. It was black. It felt like there was no oxygen going in. It felt like trying to breathe water in. And then I felt one of the sheriff's deputies next to me. And I just remember him (A) pushing me back the other direction. And we got (B) crawling back out of the smoke.

I wonder why “back” is used here.

1. The (A) seems to mean “He pushed me into the other direction than I was going”.
But why “back” is used here?
Because I was going one direction and changed direction then he pushed me into my previous position?

2. The reason “back” is used here is because we were out of the smoke before and we crawled out of the smoke into the previous place which was out of the smoke?
