I hope I would have kicked the woman in the head or wrestled her to the ground.
As a male, I suspect I wouldn't have. I could have just called the police, but that doesn't really help in an immediate situation of one person trying to stab someone. So this situation calls for either:
1) Subduing the attacker by pinning them.
2) Doing enough damage to the attacker that they can't move.
If they are on top of the victim, they maybe are in a good position for me to run up and corner-kick their head and end things with a quick concussion. I can't tell from the prose. Otherwise, it would be better to just restrain her and pin her to the ground. So I'm either a man pinning screaming woman to the ground in a public place or a man who is viscously beating a woman in public. No thanks, "Real Men" don't hit girls.

> I'm [..] a man pinning screaming woman to the ground in a public place
I can just imagine how this goes down. You grab the perpetrator, wrestle her to the ground violently. You have to lean deeply over her to restrain both her hands. The victim runs away. The woman you're holding starts to scream and shout that you're assaulting her. The police arrive.
You are fucked with a capital F.
> a man [..] beating a woman in public
... the victim runs away. The police arrive. The police tell the other guys in the holding cell that you're a woman-beater.
You get the picture.
