Thank you all for your kind words and support, there's been some great advice given and I've honestly taken it all on board.
Thank you all very much. XX
Sorry to hear of this event. I've come so close so many times when some kind of 6th sense has made me react first. Maybe knowing one is a scared little wimp inside makes one more aware than if you're used to handling yourself. One can never know if something would have happened on any of these occasions but I've been able to scarper OK each time.
I have also been threatened many times, but on those occasions I've been on my own territory, (I used to run discotheques for a living), and was able to talk my way out knowing there was back-up. I have also had to deal with the after effects of attacks on other people.
If I can point to one mistake it was probably acknowledging their presence, but hindsight is a great thing. For myself I'd just get done properly because I'm a "lover not a fighter" as the song goes, a total wimp in fact, lost every fight at school.
So much of your experience on Friday is shocking. It is good that you had the presence of mind to deal with the situation and consider as much as you did in the time you had.
It also says a lot that you could bring that experience into here.
You may second guess yourself but the end result is at least satisfactory - you are alive and only slightly injured so what you did was right. Watch out for infection, tho!
My sympathies for suffering such an experience but much respect due for the way in which you handled it , and are handling it.
Stay safe.

I can only add to what everyone else has said and i applaud you for your bravery. I also applaud those that phoned for the police as I once witnessed a girl being beaten up outside my house by another woman. All the big brave men stood and watched as I phoned for the police. It was a sickening sight to see,God only knows what you feel inside. Hugs and kisses to you
Luv
