What would you have done?

So basically friend of mine got followed, road raged and beaten up on the side of the highway on his way home from the V8 race on Saturday night. The offenders started driving sporadically, with throwing a bottle at his window before trying to run him off the road for several kms before they collided, with my friend t-boning the offending car after having nowhere to go. His car became undrivable after the impact, allowing the 2 offenders to hop out of their car stopped a few metres up the road and revealing themselves to be much bigger, muscly kiwi blokes. Then pulling my mate out of the car began beating him and only stopping when his girlfriend threw herself on top of him as the only thing she considered would stop them. They then took to his beautiful xr6 turbo which is very well looked after and well modified car, punching and kicking panels and windows. My friend and his girlfriend once again threw themselves in front of his car pleading with them to stop which they did, retreating to their parked car.

Ambulance turned up few minutes after a call, but the police (even after being called by the ambos to the scene) never showed even after nearly 2 hours of waiting.

This is the strange part: the offenders came back over while the ambos were attending to his fractured eye socket and bruising and abrasions to swap insurance details and said "hope we didnt ruin your night" and "we have to go home to our kids now". They left after a quick conversation with the ambos telling "their side of the story".

This scares me, as I am now imagining if that was me with my 9month old boy in the car as i frequent QR and that stretch of road at night. What the hell are you meant to do when you have nowhere to go? The fact that they now have his home address is also a bit of a worry to me, as he is pressing charges against the pair and i worry about the repercussions.

Such a scary situation :(
