Just caught sight of your post title and an instant thought popped into my head. However reluctant we might be to admit it, a high percentage of us reading your title question alone would answer, "It would depend who it was." In the main post you talk of a stranger, a person. You've left us to picture the scene fullyin our own minds. How many of us would hesitate to even begin to think of legalities if your stranger was a child? An elderly person leaning on a stick? Guys.. Would your answer be the same if the stranger was a beautiful young girl or a perfectly independant looking man? Would we be influenced by this strangets age, race , demeanour, state of health? Most of us have caught sight of an unsavoury character and muttered something like , "I wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alley". So would we watch such a person walk off a cliff or risk them misinterpreting our action or emptying our pockets?
