Scenario 3: Fight


Introduction : Walk away : Offer help to woman

You chose: Return and ask the woman if she needs help.

The woman replies, “Make him stop!” You approach the fighting men but stay out of reach, calling to them to stop. The aggressor finally notices you, threatens to beat you up too if you come closer, grabs the woman by the arm, and leaves with her. You do not know whether or not he hits her later. You help the other man to the Infirmary.
