How do people justify doing nothing? Self preservation?

I will help in a medical emergency 100% for sure. I know because I've done it before.
But in an assault situation? I'm not so sure. The man had a hammer which he pulled out of the knapsack. I don't know what other weapons he may have had on his person. The threat of him potentially having a SHARP object like a knife is enough to make me pause and not participate.
People usually survive gun wounds, not the same with knife wounds. Most knife wounds can be fatal just due to bleeding out.
