That makes me wonder why they didn't attempt the rescue with a battery
loco or something else with compatible braking equipment.

Where would the nearest battery loco be at that time of day, and
would there be anything between it and the train needing to be
rescued (for example, some service trains).

Well, the right answer would be for the railgrinder to have a compatible
braking system or a way of adapting it. No brakes is inherently unsafe.
