What Should I Do if I'm Hurt or Hurt a Woman?

The physical plane has been crossed and the fact that he's bigger faster and stronger means you're facing grievous bodily injury. I would assume that a man would probably want to grab the woman first or or hit or strike them somewhere first but it might start with grabbing and maybe I'm wrong so just stop me if I am. What's something that someone could do right away if they realize this could get out of hand?
