I'm glad you're safe, but I'm also glad you did what you did.

I really don't think you should've got involved. Could well have been a couple dispute and the girl was the one spitting and hitting. The guy hasn't even touched her and is possibly the father, you've really just assaulted him imo.

ic. i was expecting a story about you almost getting stabbed, but okay.

i wouldnt have gotten involved other than to call the police and notified the guy i was calling the police. especially since the female apparently started the actual physical altercation (spitting is arguable) and you could have been seen as contributing to her assaulting him.

Spitting on someone is about as clear an assault as you can get. Not sure why you think it's "arguable".

Damn, that takes balls to just jump in like that. I probably would've waited or not even got involved unless he starts hitting her, but it's easy to say that when I'm not actually "in the moment" as you were. That's weird, though. He just immediately put his hand in his jacket then walked off? Maybe he thought you jacked his wallet or something when you grabbed him lol

I would've not called the police. I bounce at strip clubs in the ghetto part of Miami, and it's my natural reaction when people start getting loud to intervene. Upon seeing it I would've told him "this isn't the place, you need to calm down and go your separate way," in which he would've told me to fuck off most likely. Per norm in a situation like that I would've explained to him calmly with my hands at my side (but a little in front of me) that I'm not the enemy and he's making a fool of himself. People react to embarassment once they see you aren't a threat very well. If he would've spit in her face, as if I couldn't had reacted to him by that time, I definitely would've made myself a physical presence as to say "Do it again and I'm going to make mincemeat of you." At that point you're really allin, and I would've beat the brakes off of him if he would've touched me. Being used to people carrying weapons, and having been stabbed before, I wouldn't have thought much of him reaching in his pocket, because realistically I would've just reached in my pants and pulled out my gun (and since you're in Australia, also have pulled out a knife in place of the gun). Other than that, would've grabbed the auxiliary bones in his other hand, took control of the side of his body where his hand wasn't in his pocket, and proceeded to go to jail for as previously mentioned, beating the brakes off of him, having previously given him a calm and logical solution in backing away from a hostile situation.

I'm glad that your first reaction was to call the police btw. You can get in real trouble for reacting physically, and also without having been in hostile situations, hurt badly. Also, announcing that you called the police only applies to people who are acting in a civil manner to begin with in my experience. Once someone has spit in a girls face (since you didn't know if he knew her or not), you're at odds that he doesn't know her, and is just batshit crazy and would disregard such a scare tactic, enraging him more. Rage that could, and most probably, would be directed at you for getting involved in his batshit crazy act.
