I have learned from experiences that I am a "rescuer" by nature. If I see someone in trouble, injured, in a wreck or things of that nature, I cannot just continue on. My instincts to help take over and I do what I can to help. However, I have never come upon a woman being beaten by men. My only way to answer is to try and base what I THINK I would do based on how I have reacted in the past. Odds are pretty good that I would do something like pull my car right in front of them with my brights blaring and on the line with 9-1-1 dispatch and my hand on the horn to try and scare them off. Although I carry a firearm, I don't assume that will always be my security so I would more than likely stay in my car until help arrived, even another by-stander that is stepping in would lead me into mobility. If I came upon the woman or man laying in the street there is not a question in my mind that I would stop to help. It would haunt me forever wondering if I could have saved a life and opted to pass by.
Now if I were in your shoes Jumpin Jesus, and viewing it from the beginning, I would have been on the phone from the first sign of trouble. Those things can turn ugly really quick so I wouldn't have hesitated. But we all react differently to situations.
I do wonder what the woman was doing walking alone, un-armed at 3:30 in the morning???
