He could be getting a kick out of the reaction from you IYKWIM. It's getting him attention.
You could try some time out strategies. If he hurts someone then he has to sit on the floor at your feet for a couple of mins (without any interaction from you). If it gets worse then tell him it's a warning and you'll take him home if it happens again and follow through with it.
Strap him in his seat and tell him you are taking him home because he hit/pushed someone over. You could give him a second chance at that point but after that there is no more second chances. Home it is and straight in the bedroom for 5 mins.
Angus went through a throwing sand phase (in other kids faces,it was awful) and once I had taken him home one I only had to threaten him with it again and he behaved.
