When it was over three of the thugs were cut, sending one to the hospital. The couple fled into the night. The couple had no duty to stay at the scene or talk to police. The police have not made an effort through the media to locate the couple. The actions of the knife-wielding boyfriend were obviously justifiable. I hope we never learn the names of the couple. I’d like to give that brave man a medal.

I’m not going to worry about the use of a deadly weapon anytime there is more than one attacker. The disparity of force in shear numbers demands extreme action in order to avoid death or serious physical injury.
The tough guys made their own bloody bed. They just did not believe that someone would dare fight back.
Nobody should have to read the minds of their attackers in order to determine how dangerous they are. Using their numbers as a tool of imtimidation was their downfall.
Not to mention the civil consequences.

Should you ever be in such a situation, NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE. Instead simply ask to have a lawyer present while you answer questions. The questioning will end and the officers will arrest you or not.
Your chances just improved by 100% if you shut-up rather than trying to get the officers to see it your way.
More people in the country need to take responsibility for their own safety.
