Witness confronted and struck one of six bandits with at least one gun? I want that guy on my side!

I have some questions about this incident, including when the police were called.

If I see six men with bandannas on their faces getting out of a car in a park at 10:30 p.m., I am setting a personal best speed record.

He could have called 911 while watching from his car. It seems lucky that the witness didn't get shot.

That parking lot is long and narrow, and has only one steep entrance/exit. Very simple to block someone in.

Long history of gangs in the vicinity (and I won't say more than that).

In that case I'm setting a high jump record or doing a very convincing impersonation of a rock.
