It's weird how we have the whole "Oh, somebody else will do something about it" mindset.

But like Ambi said, it would depend on the scream - if i thought it was something a bit iffy, i would probably ring the Police. ...hopefully i wouldn't be one of those "Oh, someone else will call" people who'd rather save credit than somebody's dignity (or life).

Regarding actually whether i'd intervene - i don't know. Recently i've been mugged, and though it wasn't painful (even though i bled a lot) i don't know whether i'd merrily bound on in to save someone else, risking breakage of my already broken face. Thankfully somebody above likes me - 'cos out of all the muggers in Hull (and there're a lot) i got the two who were total pussies.

With another person though (and i'd probably hesitate if there were more than one, for obvious reasons) i doubt i'd step in. Maybe if i was the sort of person who got into the 'Fight' mode easier, but i'm really not.

It somewhat annoys me, however, when we reach a point in society when we won't try and help, beit through calling others or actually intervening ourselves.

But meh, such is the world.
