I expect he wanted to get away from the scene in case the brothers had backup coming -- he'd already been harassed as it was -- but he should still have reported it to the police once he got to a safe place.
This seems sensible. Though, I think I’d be having a self defense attorney presenting my story if I’d already left the scene.

US Law Shield recommends reporting to 911 you have been a victim of a crime and leave it at that until you have a lawyer present.
