English term or phrase: overturn the table
someone knows if this can be an idiom?
i found it in this sentence:

Then he overturned the table and vaulted into the plaza

but unfortunately nobody said nothing about a table, before, in the text. the man is near a sort of ring. but... why 'table'?

thanks so much in advance
