4 attackers · Danger 5/5

Couple attacked by a gang in the street

A couple attacked by a gang can tactically defend 360°. Shoulders must be glued (one front, one back). Coded communication to pivot. Couples are HARDER to attack than individuals — 78% attacker abandonment if coordinated defense.

Step-by-step tactic

1Glue shoulders back to back immediately.
2One yells '12 o'clock' (front), the other '6 o'clock' (back).
3Coordinate pivots — simultaneous 90°.
4Back toward a wall, staying glued.
5Sprint together toward identified exit.

Eli & Yehouda Avikzar method — Facing many: never head-on. Identify the weak link, create a breach, flee. Survival isn't victory — it's the exit.

Legal framework

Attack on a couple is aggravated by attacker 'group'. The couple benefits from reciprocal self-defense presumption.
