What would you do if you saw a man physically abusing a woman (girlfriend) in public? (45)
Aspenn: I can tell you what people did back when I was 22 and my boyfriend had my hair twisted around his one hand with my head pulled back to his shoulder, and with the other hand he had one of my arms twisted behind my back, pushing me down the side of a busy street to his apartment. People on foot stopped to stare and people in cars slowed down to stare. Not one person tried to help.
what happened when he got you back to his apartment ? did you and him go at it like there was no tomorrow ? 
tomorrow

I'd also have to wonder if either of them had a weapon.
These days it's obvious people do carry a sealed weapon.
I'd call the authories.

Bag him 
I never was physically abused by someone and would end it straight away. I really would hope that should I find myself ever in a situation like that, that someone would help me. 
I would intervene btw.

tomcatwarne: I have been in this position, only to have them both turn on me and tell me to mind my own business.
Of course it would depend on the severity of the attack. If it was very serious I would restrain him. until she could get away.

Happened to me like this, too. (They both turned on me). Police are divided about advice on this: some say to do all you can without putting yourself in harm's way (yeah--please demonstrate how THAT works..), others say to stay back, but tell the man under no uncertain circumstances that he IS breaking the law. Myself, I couldn't just do "nothing", but would probably try as quickly as possible to draw other bystanders' attention to the situation, call 911 (calling the precinct # would take far too long in this instance) and report the crime. I understand and even respect that some people would not get involved, but I don't believe I could just walk away. A final thought: Sad, but true, it's going to take much, much more than the police intervention to stop this, and the woman, though certainly faultless, would have to be able to fully commit to removing herself from that environment, and therein lies a huge problem; many seem unable to help us help them.

Well in situations like that, you find out WHO the good people are.
Do whatever you do in a peaceful way. Try to help them to solve the problem without poking about their personal matters. But if the problem become bad to worse, then better to call the cops to handle it.

DaytonaDude: I would do this...
...if I could
...if I could
that's gotta hurt.....
jt3jo: I would walk right pass.
Some years ago a friend of mine came by this situation.
He ended up being stabbed by the woman involved whilst telling my buddy to leave her boyfriend alone.
A dangerous situation.
Walk by this situation as there is always a story behind.
Best wishes all.
Your comment was hard to read because it happens to be true. Many people don't want to look at that side of the coin. A good Samaritan tries to stop a man from hitting a woman, and they BOTH attack HIM. Happens all too often.Some years ago a friend of mine came by this situation.

Good answer.
I would run him over with my horse!!!
i would step in and stop him i have done it before
Yelling is yelling, but when it becomes physical, the time for intervention has arrived. I would assess the situation and if the participants are beyond my physical prowess, I would alert the authorities and/or seek assistance from other witnesses. If I feel I have the physical ability/skills, I would break it up! I have training in defensive tactics which also involves restaint manuveurs, and would not hesitate. The key is NOT to assault either of the participants, for this is how brawls start - although....brawling isn't unknown here in Canada.
