I will have to agree with Maleficent. While you certainly acted in good faith to help you neighbor, the police should have been called to handle the situation. Not only does it keep you safe (we don't want anything to happen to you), but it also puts the report on file so the police can start seeing a history of domestic abuse incidents with them.
Are you nosey? Absolutely not! You reported what you believed to be a crime occuring, even if you didn't have proof. A lot of people turn their head and allow it to happen thinking that it isn't their problem. Yeah, in some cases both people would rather work it out themselves but that is rare. Usually at least one person is looking for assistance, a way out. Just a call to the police could do just that. Nice work.
