The plot thickens
Shout verbal stop warnings/commands/called 911 type of thing, and then maybe a series of blasts of pepper spray in the aggressor's face? And that's only if I was conviced that the guy getting pummled was out cold and taking potentially seriously dammaging strikes at that point.
But what if the plot thickens
1)You intervene by getting the pummeler off of the pummeley. The Pummeley than produces a handgun/knife and shoots/stabs the initial aggressor, and runs off.
2)you intervene as above, but after doing so the Pummeley comes to, and sees the ex Pummeler hurt, shouts "YOu son of a @@@@! You hurt my brother/dad/etc, I AM GONNA KILL YOU!"
We bit a little more than we could chew on that one, didn't we? The point is like you guys have been saying, you have no idea exactly what is happening and potentially you could be attacking the aggrieved that just had the capacity to gain the upper hand after being attacked initially, or you could get involved in a domestic violence issue. I am not saying that one shouldn't intervene necessarily, but by intervening you are opening a big old Pandoras box, and by intervening you have to realize that you have to be able to control both parties, OR that you can become a target! That scenario is a job for the police that can control both subjects until they figure out what is going on!
