So basically, long story short, I saw a guy reach into a woman's car, grab her hair with one fist and punch her in the face at full force....repeatedly. It was essentially a road rage incident and was about 3 feet away from me. He was with about 4 young women, the lady he punched was by herself.
I was at a red light, next to the lady he attacked. I was so scared, I was shaking. I dialed 911 and had it on speakerphone so that he and the girls that were with him (who were all next to my car) wouldn't know I was calling the police. I admit, I was afraid of retaliation.
The lady seemed OK, considering what he did to her ... she rammed his car a couple of times in an attempt to get away, and then sped off.
I was in a pretty bad part of town and I don't know the slightest thing about self-defense. I called the police, and in mid-call, she sped away. I don't blame her, I'm sure she was terrified, and really, if I were her, I would rather get the hell out of there than wait for the police. So even though i reported it, I'm sure he got away with it.
Should I have done more? Could I have? I feel terrible, and I hope the woman is OK. What would you have done?
PS And am I the only one who can't believe the chicks he was with were just acting like nothing happened. The just stood there and then got in the car and were laughing and acting happy-go-lucky. WTF? And it was all because he stopped in the middle of the road, at a green light and got out of the car. The lady beeped, and he reached in and beat her. It all happened so fast.
