What would you do, save a life maybe or protect your own safety?

You somehow ended up on the fringes of the “rough side of town”, because of detours, getting lost; it was the short cut to the theater, etc. Waiting at a stoplight someone runs up to your car frantically asking you for a ride out of the area. You look pass the person to see 5–7 people spill out of an alley running pell-mell in the direction of the intersection you are at brandishing bats, clubs, length of pipes, heavy chains, etc. What do you do, hit the gas leaving the person to escape on their own, let then in and drive them at least out of harm’s way, drive up a block leaving them and acting as a witness while you dial 911? Does the age or sex of the person determine if you will give them any help or let them get beat down? If or who your passengers are determine the amount of help if any the pursued would get? Would you simply think it is “every man for himself”? You are not going to risk getting in any mess for anyone, no matter how bad they might need it. Do you drive off and convince yourself it was a scam to rob you and go about your business, thinking no more about it. What would you do?
