Best Answer

Mostly, yes.

You can't just walk past a rape or robbery or murder, you must either act to prevent it, or at least call for help, with a raised voice or a 911 phone call.

An exception would be that you are currently hidden, and to in any way interfere would jeopardize your own life or well being. Or that you are unarmed, and the assailants are armed.
