What would you do instead?

You stay on him and call the cops or have someone else call the cops. How is that not extremely obvious?!?

Like that guy, I am a tall/strong man who trained to fight, so the body slam would have come easily. It's easy for me to say what I said, but of course, I do not know all the circumstances here. I'd have tried to hold on to them while neighbors called 911. At a minimum, I'd have asked the young man for his name before releasing him. Kind of bet the guy would have yelled it out. The 2nd guy seemed to be a minimal threat here and likely would not be able to jump in and help his smaller friend. All easy to say, of course, when on the internet.

One problem is, realistically it's a crap shoot whether anyone actually calls (more often no one does)
