a physical attack gets you hauled off to jail for assault. if it's verbal harassment, you have no right to use physical force. Call 9-1-1 and explain what's going on, while making sure the woman isn't attacked. if physical force is being used on the woman, you can respond in kind to protect her. this would be an awful situation be in if you're armed; the temptation would be to draw your weapon and try to chase the punks off; if they're not armed, you again have problems with the law. human nature urges you to protect the woman; the fact that you have a life and family to think about would make me most likely to call the cops.
