Call 911 as the situation allows, but I would not substitute fiddling with the phone and/or its recording functions to collect "evidence" at the expense of keeping on top of the situation. You mentioned the "tunnel vision;" a lot of things are competing for you limited attention/focus at a time like that, fiddling with the phone should be well behind keeping an eye on the threat and dealing with it.
Yep
here. If calling 911 would pose even a minimal distraction, I think it would be best to wait until the confrontation is over. Once he climbed back into his truck, then dial the three digits.
