Stand far enough away to be safe but close enough for the violent person to see you and be aware that they are being watched. Get others’ support. Ask others who are nearby to help. Verbally intervene. Tell the violent person clearly that their actions are not okay, they are a crime, and you are calling the police. Ask the victim if they need help. “Are you okay, do you need a taxi?” Say something to the man: “Hey, what are you doing?” “That’s not on, mate.” Stick around to make sure the situation has cooled down. Create a distraction – so that the abused person has time to get away or the perpetrator slows down or ceases their violence. For example, ask a man harassing a woman on the street for directions or the time.
